That's a fair point. I don't believe that TVM is going to be pushed (I don't KNOW it, but I don't believe that it will) as a predominant reason as to why this TA should be voted on. Pretty sure the MEC knows that the group recognizes the leverage we have and wouldn't push it based on that alone. But I would tend to agree with you that if they came out and said it that way, I would dig even deeper into the language.

I told my reps that I too wouldn't vote yes if PS were included, but again, never say never. Something like 25% DOS with a 50% reduction in PS would be pretty hard to turn down. For those that think this up cycle in the airline industry is forever, take a look at the last few weeks and what has happened to airline stocks when oil trends up. Again, not fear mongering but this up cycle ain't gonna last forever. DYODD
