Huzzah!
The very reason there are concessions this time, is found in C2012 and at the subsequent Investor's Conference. They are going to ask RA about 'Cost Control' going forward. RA wants to once again be able to tell them he has just signed another Cost Neutral contract.
He'll be saying the exact same things he said after C2012, Capacity Restraint (parking 747's) , Fleet Up Gage (more 76 seat RJ's), Changes to Profit Sharing to cover raises, etc.
