I think the demographic has changed, especially with so many regional guys on property now, almost all of which have been through contract negotiations at some point and know what a good contract can have, vs not knowing what we don’t know.

In this environment it’s not “what are we willing to give up”, but “we can get all we think we’re entitled to”, and still have a prosperous company and secure future.

PS. I’m not an entitlement millennial, I’m in the last few years of a career that finally has the potential to give a return on the dues I’ve paid for three decades, and that’s what I and many others expect in the next TA.
