Or wait forever for a pound of flesh and 40% more in pay rates.
If that's the input the MEC is working with then you have nothing to worry about.
I'm still at UA+ on rates and no concessions (actually 2004 rates is my minimum on principle alone.) I think others are more extreme than that. We also need gains in other areas. See our December proposal. Record profits buys a lot of solutions but leaves no room for concessions.
