He isn't living in the past when he warns to not relive history, he's trying to help you avoid repeating history. Simply because the same guys are still in control of the negotiations, and I don't mean the members of the NC.

All of you new(er) guys expect that you will get a huge raise if we can just be "unified". Well Ram and I know that the last time we were "unified", the raise wasn't very big at all, maybe not even bigger than what it replaced. You can bury your head in the sand all you want while you wish everyone would just get along, but getting along won't get you the raise you expect without a leadership team in place to take advantage of that unity.
Ok, that may be true. However, during C2010 negotiations Spirit was still a private company, the books weren't open, financials weren't where they are now, and the negotiating environment was significantly different than it is currently/ will be next year.

HUGE DIFFERENCE between then and now!
