So, when Jimmy Carter's son, little Jimmy W. gets elected in 10 years, and inflation hits 16%, you'll still think that's a good idea?
Airlines are a crap shoot in 5 years, and anything can happen in 15. I doubt I would vote for such a long term contract without some serious built in protections, like indexed to inflation for COLA's, or as I thought appropriate, indexed to the built-in inflation adjustments with our contract partners.
