Well our current contract clearly doesn't put the company in financial pain, so we therefore don't need to gut it with concessions. Even our current contract is so friendly to the company they can afford to blow 5B in shortsighted buybacks at peak value, which historically has never worked long term.
They can afford our status quo with a fair pay rate increase with no concessions.
