That's a large part of the issue many of the the NO voters have. Section 6 is right around the corner, so why must we settle for this thin deal now? Why extend a concessionary agreement for just 13%? Why does the company want to goad us into an interim, flimsy deal? Could it be money saved for them along with FRMS / 117 gains?

Why are we so quick to accept their "terms". Why was Jay so quick to capitulate and waive the white flag on reserve issues?

Right now, we're cheap and the company knows it. They also know that the next DAL and AAA contracts are likely to be expensive. Locking us into something cheaper now, and for a LONG time is smart. Why are we so willing to go along with them when they don't even honor the last contract?

Why is the MEC so quick to jump at this? Perhaps Jay wants to go out with a (perceived) win? Perhaps as a group we are just so beat down that we'll accept anything and 13 percent seems like a windfall.

What's DALs opener, 17-5-5??
