People keep talking about how the company won’t come back to the table and we will be “stuck” with current rates and that this is “free money” (it isn’t).
If first year relief wasn’t something they really wanted, they would have stalled all negotiations until the merger, not put a $400 million offer on the table before the amendable date.
Don’t be so scared.
Why are “yes voters” always called scared if they vote yes?
Are “no voters” careless?
Could it be yes voters don’t see the benefit of trying to head back to the table vs DOS+2 rates that will be in hand
