I'm not going to cherry-pick. I'll leave it up to the NC to get as much as they can. They're not perfect but they seem to be getting much more.

Ironically I was beginning think the last rejection of TA 1 was a good idea. I mean if we get $800M (it's already $600/year more) more per year than our current contract that's more than double from last time.

However, there is a point of diminishing returns. At what point does a complete stalemate lead to $0? That's the trick. To get something sooner rather than 1-2% more in four years. If they get nothing then voting No to C2015 was the dumbest thing we ever did and was all for nothing. We could have had more in C2015 and C2018 vice a fat goose egg.

A deal can be had. Heads just have to knocked together and the MEC needs to get some courage. They should just all be like Cincinnatus. Serve the pilots, and then go back to line and fly having done their duty.

Don't worry about another term. Do their damn jobs.
