You are correct, Sir, it is NOT free; rather, a well-deserved benefit. And, I might add, not enough of one, when you consider what military retirees get after 20 long, hard years of service and sacrifice. Compared to what a person in congress gets as a pension after a few short years of working part time. Shame.
Much respect, and my hats off to all veterans everywhere. Thank you for the sacrifices you made and are continuing to make.

However I agree with the point you're making. Mesa's day is coming. Management will either step up to the plate or not fulfill their contract with mainline.
