Ben was like a giddy school kid on the call. Excited about where we are and where we are going. Most analysts were left saying "Wow, that sounds great" when their questions were answered.
The company "appears" to be in a very strong position and will be getting better in the years to come. From a business position, I dont see how we can be in a stronger position to negotiate from. From a industry position, being on the low end of pay, we are in a strong position as well. The company will have a hard time justifying how the pilots who produce some of the highest profits are some of the lowest paid, maybe those two facts arent so mutually exclusive. There is zero damned reason to except any concession or anything less that "substantial gains" in this contract. Period, end of story. Done
