And we didn't go from 25% to zero. That's a disingenuous argument. We went from 16% to 18% which, last time I checked, was an improvement not a concession. If we measured contracts based on what we opened with vs what we got, literally every single one would be 100% concessionary.
Those are not raises. They are bonuses. Today is a raise based on rates that haven't changed in 4 years. Like I said, I'll bet management would sign a 0,0,0,18% contract every four years in a heartbeat. But yeah, it isn't 'nothing'.
And it is not a disingenuous argument. We get ZERO improvement this year. In case you haven't noticed, many of those that got pummeled in bankruptcy are leaving THIS year. THEY get nothing. But you get yours, so all is good, right?
