2. Self inflicted yes.

Utter poppycock. See above

3. Compared to others they’re not the industries finest and that why we’re in negotiations.


Not the industries finest? How about the current contract which was IMPOSED and not voted on is complete garbage. Flying 747s and 767s around the world to hostile locations for commuter wages and benefits is total garbage.
