Your tickets, your revenues, your crowds are nowhere close compared to the other.
82% said yes because the union fought for the cornerstone issues we asked them (eg, scope). I don’t recall people asking/demanding snap up provisions. This contract met the requirements of what we were asking for. You’ll get 318 Sept 1 as worse case and then Sept 2024 will be more than 331.
What hope you referring to? The pilot group asked for 3 large groups for this contract. We met that goal. Having a snap up was never discussed
Sure they’re much bigger and make a lot more revenue. But one thing AS does better is make money hand over fist. They’re by no means struggling to get by profit wise.
