Some of what has been lost, such as the pensions are just gone, and like virginity, they are gone forever. There is no taking it back. I’d like nothing more than to knock the ball out of the park with this contract, but we need to be realistic. Those thinking that we take it all back or expect the group to get triggered in January should be prepared to be disappointed. No noticeable change will occur, and we are not going to get everything that we want while giving nothing up in return. My guess is that we end up protecting the key issues like scope and make some improvements in work rules along with what amounts to a cost of living increase in our rates. The airlines took full advantage of 9/11, and we live in a different world now. Recovering what we can will be a long process.
