CLMP has accurately pointed out how insignificant we are. We not an airline, ‘we’re different’; we’re a Travel-Synergies IT bundling (bungling) service provider. We don’t have DOT provided slots to anywhere, no EAS, nådå. That’s why the NMB will release us. They don’t have to worry about phone calls from any legislature asking why they can’t get home this weekend. What is significant about the 1998 NWA strike; they were released in two years of negotiations after having more TA’d items. Contrary to management spin.
