EVERY contract here is concessionary, and a little, or a lot, less than the last one. The next one will be worse than this one if, heaven forbid, we buy off on the fear porn.
You are just one ray of sunshine aren't you. Jobs lost is this TA passes, where's that other than the fear on this board. If the company is bent on job reductions, this TA isn't going to stop them. If the company is going to be broke up as some claim, this TA isn't going to stop that. So this TA automatically makes the next TA concessionary? But, if you feet that negotiating again if this TA fails is the right move, ok. I suggest then that the NEW TA you dream of be a 25 year contract so there will never again be a concessionary TA.
