I've seen worse at the helm. There will never be another RA, I think most would agree. At least in this article, our future CEO says things that to me indicate a continuation of the current culture. Again, I've seen a lot worse. And RA will still be on the board to give his opinion. I've heard EB speak, and he's got a good handle on the business, and he's sharp, very much unlike a few previous execs. GH is now the number 2, and he's been a major factor in DL's success. I'm just saying, we are always one CEO away from disaster in this business. I think we are still one CEO away, fortunately. I don't speak for the company or for our union, but I am encouraged that there were meetings this past week with the negotiators and further meetings are scheduled. I'm encouraged that both sides are saying they want an agreement. Again, I've seen worse. I think we are well positioned to achieve a good contract going forward, and I think given the company's need for some changes, that will happen sooner than later. I have no concern over the 321 rates because from a negotiating standpoint it was to be expected at this stage. I don't consider it a bellweather for future agreements. We need to keep an eye on scope, improve our QOL, an of course increase compensation. I trust JM and his team to achieve the most they possibly can, in a timely manner. I am behind their efforts 100%. Keep the faith, good things are coming.
