Not violate it. But if we are to be so inflexible that we can't ever find ways to cope with changes in the competitive environment, we'll get smoked. If the Company absolutely needed some version of the A-350, are we really not going to get it even though DAL and AA do? Enjoy that 777 left seat at your current rate of pay. Soon you'll be able to yuck it up on 123.45 over the Atlantic with NAI left seaters at compensation packages of about 1/3 of yours. You can tell them all about how powerful and rigid our contract is.
