By "cashing the PS" check we get 1/3 of 20% of that 1B. That's about $83 Million. This is a SMALL number.
I prefer a BIG number over a SMALL number. Don't you?
(It still needs to be the right deal in QOL, not just "a" deal.)
Getting the "right deal" still requires a unified face from the MEC wether it's expedited or protracted negotiations. It reduces our leverage when the Company can see division and use those wedges against us. That makes the top number smaller and keeps us at the lower number longer...
No; no fake urgency. I agree we will "keep cashing the PS", and I look forward to that continuing. I want more(a lot more), and I want it yesterday. I don't like when people undermine the effort to do that.
I wish I shared your confidence that the NC has ever surpassed the survey. Since all I know for sure is what I listed, if the NC even APPROACHES my survey inputs, it will pass at 90%. The argument of keeping the survey results from the pilots so as to keep our "low end" unknown is specious.
