We're all talking hypotheticals here, right?

The idea of filling the contract full of IOUs is a bad one. It allows the pilot group to not vote for the contract on its face, but the pilots get to inject all their hopes and dreams into their decision making.

Nevermind the fact that it opens up the door to management interpretation and implementation delays. 3rd step anyone?

We'll find out soon how good a job the NC has done. If they deliver a home run, expect to hear me cheering. But they have a long way to go to get to industry leading.
