I think that's probably right, but it's also possible we see nothing but growth. Good people can disagree.

What is absolutely intolerable is the MEC administration's decision to withhold this data from us until after the TA passes. They're doing this because they feel we line pilots undercut them during the FAR 117 negotiations where we forced the administration back to the table to remove CDO's. They're afraid we'd focus on the possible loss of 100,000 international block hours and scuttle the deal. So they've chosen to hide it from us and prohibit reps from releasing it.

And how are we responding to this? By re-electing Donatelli. We're not only going to approve this TA, but we're telling Donatelli he's doing the right thing by hiding data from us.
