Hence the problem and why a pilot union shouldn't be represented by the IBT.
Ok, so your Eboard gets to decide. That's better.... Not good, just better than the alternative.
Having read it; it's a great improvement in some areas and some significant givebacks in others.
My real concern would be giving the work rules concessions; RAH then going through Bankruptcy anyway and taking the money pay back too.
I think many of the analysts are saying a BK restructuring is inevitable; right?
