Maybe I'm wrong, but the talk wasn't about a 30% reduction in all international flying, it was a reduction of 30% of ocean crossings. You do realize that shipments have gone down globally. Evan UPS is experiencing this. Don't be distracted by the doom and gloom. Our current shipments are very close to pre-covid numbers.

Do you think that the company would love to drag these negotiations out even longer by spreading fear and discourse among the crew force, distracting them from the original goal? Do you think the company would object to us re-opening Section 1 or other sections, or do you think that they would say fine, we would like to re-open this section. The company would love nothing more that to have this drag out for as many years as they can. They would love to tell the NMB that they were willing to move on the last remaining section, but now the pilots have changed their minds. They would argue that we shouldn't be released, because we don't even know what we want. How can they negotiate with a group that doesn't know what they want.

You are proving my point that most who are complaining on here either never read Section 1 before, or never really cared. They are just reacting to headlines, just like the company wants.

The sky isn't falling.
