I meant to say concessions on the ask in this round of negotiations. Either way I think we’re on the same page. 10/5/3 isn’t going to work. You mentioned that we’re probably heading into a tough economic period and dragging this out might back fire. You may be right but I don’t think it’s us that’s dragging this out. It’s AA. I’m willing to risk it to be quite honest. We need the right contract to move this place forward. Improving our operational integrity is a mutually shared goal by AA and APA. The company needs to realizes that incentive not coercion is how you improve schedule reliability for everyone. Including the customer. Once they figure that out maybe they’ll get serious about negotiations. Something about honey instead of vinegar? 10/5/3 won’t cut it.

Anyways hang in there. We’re already 3 years in, what’s another year or two?
