What's the over/under on Jon, Casey, Mike, Tom and the NC sticking it out if this thing is voted down? I'm not talking about them being voted out, I'm talking about them walking out. They're exhausted, have sacrificed almost a year of time away from family, 24 hour negotiating sessions, emergency midnight phone calls. Stress, fatigue, you name it. If they come and say "this is the best we felt we could do" and we send them back for the cherry on top... what happens if they say "I'm out"?

I guess my point (I don't want to drop question grenades and walk away like TSMITR) is this: is the juice worth the squeeze? If we were to go back into mediated discussions again to gain that last few percent plus parking and uniforms... is it really worth the time, effort, and likely eroding support from the pilot group?

If the BOD sends this thing out then 8400 people can vote for or against it. Only that will provide the mandate for where to go from here.

We've said "SWAPA speaks for me" for almost a year. That didn't suddenly stop when we got an AIP. Let's see the language and a roadshow or two and then take it from there.
