A week ago I would have agreed with you, but they came into recurrent yesterday for the yearly lunch and they had seemed to have changed their tune since last I spoke with anyone in ALPA 2 months ago. One of the guys was the interm chairman and the other is on the negotiating committee. They said their stance is no pilot on property, including reserves and guys with 75 hr lines, takes a pay cut. If they can make that happen we'll see but it was nice to see them actually standing up for it.
