Every provision of a contract has some value, it's just a matter of getting both sides to agree as to what that value is. How much? Who really knows.
We do not have the same perspective. You don't care about it anymore and I certainly still do.

Now, is THAT unreasonable?
In other words neuter themselves and us making the only issue between what's already been offered and arbitration ?
Now THAT sounds like one of Jerry's kids talking. In other words, negotiate directly with the pilots by proxy. Sorry, but that's just playing into managements hands and succumbing to their game. My, my......you're absolutely all over the place in your representations, aren't you ?
One post sounding like a raving lunatic, another attempting to sound like a rational sympathetic fellow pilot and here like a management lackey. Even a chameleon would be impressed.
