Especially when it has been shown to have no bearing on industry whatsoever. Plenty of airlines have made gains since then. Including the airline in question.
No bearing on the industry at all? Think of how much more regionals could of gained had those concessionary contracts been signed. I don't fault those who voted them in under bankruptcy, however I DO fault the group who voted yes to concessions when the only real threat was not gaining new aircraft. They didn't even put up a fight.
