So throw us in the Briar Patch and start the NMB clock. We'll be ready and unified in 3-5 years with strike funds built up if that's how long they want to stiff us for. I don't think it will get to that though.

They offered 1.1B in extra value. I say gift them 100 Million back. Shareholder return, executive compensation, buy them some airplanes or donate it to charity, and only take 1.0B and put it all into pay. If its properly costed, that's a huge and very reasonable compromise that will be very, very hard to argue with.
