Let's see what the first real item on the company's agenda is. This deal didn't just happen. It has been in the planning stages for some time. The company lawyers knew exactly the short term greed affect on a small segment of the pilot group and will play us with all the open ends this TA creates.
But you didn't 'cover' my response. I asked specific questions:
How long does it take to negotiate a full contract?
Do you view this TA as an incremental gain or loss?
I would like to read your opinion on those two questions.
