Management NEEDS a JCBA. It’s time to stop talking about horse trading and start making nonnegotiable demands.
IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
On this, I agree. But the demand needs to be possible, and make sense. You can't demand $1 million per credit hour and you will NOT get THIS management team to let you tax their revenue, during good times and BAD times. They have fought ferociously to not yet give an industry standard profit sharing plan, which only pays when times are GOOD (do you understand this distinction?) and is supposedly "so easy to get out of" (it's not). These guys will laugh you out of the room if you make this demand.
But I agree, we should horse trade nothing, give nothing, and we better get a Delta/SWA equivalent Profit Sharing plan with strong language, and no cliff. And we don't have "give" anything to get it.
