Has United or Delta decreased ALV? If the board having a 20-0 vote for the LOAs means we were lucky to get what we did. There are some very junior people on the board and negotiating committee. Call them and ask what happened.
It has been stated by APA that they never tried to negotiate the ALV reduction at all. So we have no idea what the company was willing to do. We don’t need leverage if it’s good for both parties.
