This is balony... the company did not voluntarily agree to negotiate anything. The contract forced them to negotiate because of the merger. It was ALPA who decided to go with just a couple of sections vs a full negotiation to help facilitate their merger. Looking back I would gladly trade this merger for our old pay rates and a full section 6 in 2018... 2.5 to 4 more years without scope, go team
