-The forthcoming Stimulus Bill has delivered a short term victory for labor, why would we run to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Should we give this legislative victory away for nothing in return?

After 9/11. Company takes pilots pension. Then 40% pay and some good work rules gone. They say we will go bankrupt if you don’t . They get the concessions and still file. We have seen this movie before. We should not give anything up. We cannot save them. Fly the current contract.
