My God, everyone here has been bitten by the shiny new jet syndrome or it's variations.

You all believe the company will comply with new sections of the contract? They know they will have to give to get what they want. Everyone seems to have forgotten that the company has and continues to violate the contract when ever the whim strikes!

You are all talking and speculating about what this, what that, and it all means nothing if they don't comply with the contract. They have repeatedly demonstrated they will violate it every time they want.

I have said it before, and I will say it again, until the company demonstrates they will comply with the current deal, I for one, do not believe they will comply with anything new they negotiate.

Compliance has to start now to even consider an extension. We are close enough to openers, and have a very narrow window for extension talks, why not just open early? I very much oppose any talk of extension until they comply and fully implement our current deal.

Call me jaded and cynical, been here a very long time, I just don't believe it.
