I like the idea of cargo but I also think there are reasons we put reopeners in the contract.
the one year expiration is a good idea and maybe one that allows the company to get used to it then we get something the next time, however, quid pro quo has not happened in a long while. Ie: 800, max, hindsight, ETO etc
The full schedule isn’t a sure thing. They could easily slash a ton of flights if the demand isn’t there. As for the reopener, maybe this is a dumb question but what’s the point if we’ve already opened negotiations?
