We have the high ground. We've been in the right all along, and I'm proud of my reps. The company stonewall before COVID19 was to be expected, and they have shown their true true colors. Management has mostly galvanized this group and in the end I think that is to our advantage.

What I lost in the April rebid was partially offset by our contractual gains, and partially offset by our current negotiating position (that I actually think is pretty strong, all things considered). We also have good standing should we find ourselves in front of a BK judge or arbitrator. Of all the places we could be amidst a global pandemic, I think DALPA has us appropriately positioned.
