Are you saying we can keep the C2012 work rules, JV language, sick leave, LOE drops AND get Profit Sharing plus hourly rate increases tied to American and United indefinitely? Why on earth would I vote for a concession in ANY area of the contract if I can just keep what I have. Wouldn't I be better off keeping C2012 + Profit Sharing indefinitely with hourly rates tied to American and United forever? I can't come up with ANY reason to vote for this.
