Do you think a legacy would have allowed PBS without BK court threat? 50% pay cuts? Etc, etc.

BK court is why you still get a decent rate on corporate bonds, because they're only as good as the corp mgmt to make good strategic business decisions.

Vegas, you have all the wickets in place. Plan a small vacation, that will garner you a call from a major, when you least expect or want it.

I can hardly wait till next Xmas when your newly trained behind will be stuck on reserve in NYC and you couldn't drop due to coverage!
Going after labor is not in the company's best interests in this case. The court will be made to see that. It doesn't make sense to exasperate a problem that was recently just mitigated by a new contract.
