So let's say after Envoy turns down Dougie, PSA turns down Dougie, then PDT turns down Dougie. Is Dougie going to say:
A) Gee gosh golly guys! I had no idea you felt so strongly about this, and dog gone I feel terrible! What can I do to make it up to you?
Or B) *** do I bother with you guys? I don't have to go to the pilot groups of Mesa, or Republic, or Skywest. As long as the contract rate I want with those management groups, I could care less what kind of pilot contract they have. And you guys can sit on your obsolete fleets and spin.

So, realistically. What did you think would happen by saying no? If it were just the wholly owned on property, yes we could stand together. But there are 11 carriers at AAG. How can one group stop the whipsaw when 8 of the 11 require no input from the pilots?
