Of course they are pro company concessions. But they are concessions that do indeed help prevent furloughs. You can't deny that. Back when my airline career started, seasonal furloughs were the norm. I'm glad that doesn't happen anymore.

I've never said otherwise.
But it's sure interesting that you seem to be saying you're against any concessions in C2015. Weren't you among the many saying what a bomb thrower I was for suggesting C2015 should have no concessions due to our huge profitability?
