Problem with this is we were only $47M apart several months ago. After a few "progress was made" emails we can assume the gap to be less than $47M. That means ALPA isn't asking for something equally ridiculous. If you took the company's offer and added $47M over 5 years, would you be a yes voter? I would not.
