Game might be played on a different field, but 8 years is 8 years and their company isn't shrinking, its growing. Like wildfire.
You are implying that your NEXT contract will be leaps and bounds better than your current one...

For comparison's sake, the 50 seat rates in the ASA Contract 07 (which has rates higher than this Skywest proposal) are *lower* than the rates in AWAC's
concessionary 2003 agreement.
Inflation was 6.3% in 2007...
