How serious are they?
Kirby would gladly pay the top rate in the industry if we’d keep our current book regarding work rules. His concern is total cost of the deal and our ask for work rule improvements and soft money add considerable cost. I’m happy to see a MEC that is apparently firm in demanding dramatic improvements in all areas, not just rates.
