However, to expand on this, to use history as a gauge I am curious how the contract compared at the time in 2010. I know you guys worked hard and it took a lot of time and effort to get that contract - in the end how did it compare to the legacies in pay, retirement, work rules? Obviously conditions are very different now at the legacies. Is the gap simply something that developed as they improved their contracts while Spirit's stayed the same?
Well you have to look at history. There are many many differences but one is retirment. It's easy for legacies to get a 16% DC plan. THEY USED TO HAVE PENSIONS. It will be a lot harder for us to "negotiate" that because our current retirment is the best Spirits ever had etc......
