MD: "This tentative agreement, this opportunity is about seeing what is on the horizon and doing something about it. Here and now. Period. Record pay rates is what our pilots wanted- pay and more pay."

Huh? How did you get that message? Pay and more pay? That is NOT my priority. And by the way, if there are bad times ahead "on the horizon", all of your mighty pay and more pay will go down the tubes with the times.

I think it was pretty clear that we wanted record profit sharing and record pay. Not less of one to pay for the other.
