But that’s a pretty defeatist attitude. Last time they did not have a pilot shortage or be hemorrhaging FOs to the legacies OR NEED A JCBA TO GET RETURN ON A SEVERAL BILLION DOLLAR PURCHASE. So now is NOT the time to start negotiations with a “they’ll never concede on that issue” attitude or it will soon become a self fulfilling prophecy. We’ve not had leverage like this ever. Now is the time to think big.
And I ask you again-
I don't really understand your question, but you still didn't answer mine.
You say management can just "accounting trick" their way out of paying. So then why have they refused to give us back the plan? Why refuse to give us something that is in your mind virtually worthless? I don't get that, and you aren't really answering it. If they don't have to pay, and it doesn't cost them anything, why not just give it to us?
