This question should have been contemplated well before now by our NC and MEC reps. How they were so easily placated boggles the mind.

Unfortunately, this dialogue is late to the party. The TA is what it is and falls well short of our openers and expectations.

Argue all you want. It's simply a marginally improved, marginal deal that will probably pass. It's nothing more, but probably much less after the implementation of the concessionary language. We're easily bought here at FDX. That is the truth. JM, his team, and the execs have known this for years. It cannot be refuted based on the last 15 years at least.
