Huge portion?
Nowhere near enough to carry the day on their own.
I care about all the demographics, including short timers and dead zoners. But we have GOT to get out of the mindset of selling hard won work rules just to get something today. No one in their last few years should have any reasonable expectation of canibalizing an existing contract just to get paid more themselves today. That's PRP insanity on steroids.
