I know you're an FQM yourself, can't remember if you're retired or still here however you seem to have a very level-headed approach to the unique "issues" we have at this company.

At this point - what would you have done differently if you were on the other side of the isle, ie IPA, and in particular on the negotiation committee? I realize it might be difficult for you to answer based on your allegiances. However for the sake of this argument, do you see any possibility of the two sides ever coming to an agreement or at the very least reaching a détente acceptable to both parties?
