My math on 3% manning adjustment is in a 31 day month, each day is approximately 3%/day. Subtract a day of the month, you need 3% fewer people.
I don't dispute that we are back in negotiations. I don't dispute the state of the industry. I also don't dispute that while I've been here, DALPA has traded our only true leverage-able section of the contract (section 1) for a weaker and weaker position. I've said it before, I don't know why the company even wants to negotiate with us, we have no leverage, we pi$$ed it away.
