We've already lost that chance.
There is no way to "monetize labor peace" when there is no credible threat of labor discord. We've seen no leadership or any kind of spark from Donatelli indicating he's got the stomach to fight. Moak is on record saying he's ok with "marginal" pay increases... he mentioned $2.00 or $2.05!
RA has already stated that labor risk is off the table.
Translation: we know ALPA won't fight. Donatelli has already rolled over.
