Imagine that.
Hopefully, the guys fighting so hard against us won't benefit from the new contract. Oh. Wait.
I'm going to go ahead and say that didn't happen.
The thing people seem to forget is that the lanyard actually means nothing. It represents nothing and amounts to nothing.
At the end of the day, you will vote yes or no for whatever is put in front of you. That is all that is going to happen.
The ball is in managements court. If they think a POS is going to play they are silly.
The reality is that United got pay raises with no concessions, that's the lowest the company can go. That's it. The market has decided and that's it. Their play for concessions is a futile and lost play.
