Reps were called, discussions were had, we're still not optimistic.

Ben has "I busted my own buddies (NWA Mechanics) union" Bendoveritis and we got Mike "i wrote a contract to help my seniority block" Platypus. Tell me again what we have to be optimistic about.

Oh bow I love thee, let me count the ways! Six reps scared of their own shadow, five reps with nothing but RJ airline experience, four negotiators with no accomplishments, three MEC Officers with dreams of ALPA National jobs, two ex-reps in charge, and one failed contract behind them all. Absolutely, we got countless reasons to be optimistic.
