So Karnak,

This being sent to the "Briar Patch of endless mediation", may not be a bad thing. I know as a 320B who has stagnated for 15 years, a lot of us in the bottom third of the list are looking a pay raises by advancing to new seats with retirements.

IRT sick leave issues, the last I saw we have a PWA that is enforceable hence not our problem. Profit sharing that is a nice augment and I always ask, if management came out of CH11 today, would we get the same profit sharing terms and conditions?

You're right, there is a Briar Patch but it is a 2 way street. I just don't see what the rush is to do a deal? If we don't, it would make RA "unhappy"?
