To all, Mako is right. It's not about kids in school or making Miata payments. It has been demonstrated time and again, that any give backs we pass will be abused. They will twist and turn the meaning of every word, what is "Is?" We have a contract. Follow it. The company does this whenever it advantages them, let us do that now.

Then they will pull the bait with the switch. "Oh, we didn't mean that! Grieve it." Count on it. Why give concessions when they will just come for it again in CH11? They will do what they do, manage, and blame ALPA. Then they go to court, and get what they want anyway.

No matter what the company says, any concessions will not affect the number of furloughs 1 iota. So why voluntarily give? Because they asked nicely?

Enforce the contract, insist on it!
