I think it is important to manage expectations, but I also think it is important to actually listen to the MEC podcasts and communication that comes out. They are not going to bring us an AIP to vote on that doesn't meet the groups expectations. The MEC is all too aware that UA's TA was a disaster but a large part of that wad due to the rumor mill and mismanaged expectations.

Economic packages are being passed across both sides of the table, and the MEC has said almost verbatim that our needs and concerns have been met on the major issues we have voiced (like scope, scheduling, reserve etc.). I really encourage you all to listen to the podcasts. Remain vigilant but also I think it is fair to look at this glass half full and realize that the company obviously did a stark 180 and actually came to the table in a meaningful way, and that hopefully this is going to come to an end soon.
