This is what is happening - United is using C5 as a pawn to get XJT to take concessions. Once this occurs, C5 will shut down (as already planned).
spot on.
Also, if it was a real competition, why not bend c5 over further, and ask for concessions there as well? Who wants to go back to $19 an hour? First one to raise their hand jeeps their job! The fact that C5 hasn’t been asked for concessions tells you all you need to know.
