If BB wanted a new CBA he could have pulled one through by now. There is interest in a CBA, like always, just not one we'd like or vote for. This will have almost no impact on negotiations.

The TA they want includes, worse RSV rules, contactability, no rigs, no cnx pay, concessions on pay compared to inflation. It'll be the last TA all over again. Thankfully I think our NC will keep the next offer in check. I'd still bet tons of money we don't see a TA in 2015.
