I'm not advocating getting rid of anything. We have work rules others don't and others have work rules we don't. It's a wash. Scope, LTD, pay, and retirement are not even close. Why give up any work rules for those areas that need improvement? We should be getting them regardless. Now if we are talking pay and retirement and scope that are truly the best in the industry I'm sure that work rules come up for sale to some and everything has a price. But to get to where we should be at DOS requires no give on work rules. Period.
