As has been said earlier the work rules were easy as little was changed and the net improvement is close to, if not exactly, zero.

Company will always want to delay delay. We said very vocally we agreed to a limited in scope negotiation that would complete by May22. Then we said no later than august. Now we are saying we will continue to add dates even though in the same breath we say zero has been done on the remaining sections. I suspect the Company is jumping for joy as they continue to string us along and many of you seem to be content with this everlasting extension to extension. I expect these actions will continue - we will hear something along the same lines in another month. Slow walk everything to get through peak and then it really doesn’t matter.

Think back to how much leverage we had a year ago, and even 6 months ago and what we have today and what we will have in 6 more months. That’s the path we are on…..
