Makes sense.
I think most of us learned from whiteturd's missteps post-911 when he desperately tried to save the pension, all for naught. He gave away unlimited 70 seaters (you know, the ones 'we'll never see on the ramp') and pushed through massive pay cuts and work rule changes and the pension still got turned over to the PBGC. So screw concessions and if another MC tried to pull a whiteturd, a lot of us would be pushing for a recall.
