Delay until the market changes then force a concessionary contract in front of an arbitrator. Then buy Centurion when that contract is up. As for the arbitrator, he'd be bound by the Southern and Atlas contracts IF it's my worst case scenario that the company is surely pushing for. In that scenario we'd see Kalitta plus $5 an hour plus similar or worse work rules/retirement 2.5 years from now for a duration of 5 years. Then we'd be a minimum of 10 years out from fixing it...
There certainly are a whole bunch of moving parts to that purely speculative scenario. i certainly hope it doesn't take that turn.
