Hawg,
Thanks for coming on and making your feelings known. That's what these forums are for. I'll say, strong feelings too. I too do not trust management's promises, having been badly burned in the past. I am against concessions, having said that, I will read the proposal, and see if maybe they have come up with something both sides can live with. Quite frankly, I am hard pressed to believe this AIP is not concessionary. No real way it couldn't be.
It might be possible to include in the AIP all the work that was done on the contract previously, so on snap back, maybe we get a real contract. I know, pie in the sky. I may be an optimist, but a firm no on concessions. We'll see. Thanks for posting your opinion.
