You are right though, perhaps it can be worked out in a negotiation which brings me back to my original point: It will be worked out on their terms and AFTER we accept minimal (or no) pay improvements, minimal (or no) work rule improvements, PBS on their terms and a pilot wide vote to get rid of the pre merger AS DB plan. Sadly, even if we accept all of that they still could place the CS300 et al with a regional partner.

They hold all the leverage and have demonstrated they are willing to take this company over the edge "to prove a point."
