Exactly. We have the same leverage we had before - maybe less, maybe more. Maybe less if volumes really do fall off a cliff. Maybe more if volumes go up (XTRAs in Aug?) or UPS and every other legacy inks a deal - the company doesn’t want to go to arbitration with every other airline having a signed deal with pay rates higher than ours.

This reminds me of the pre-vote argument “yes” voters would make. They’d say if I’m gonna vote NO I have to detail the path forward - exactly what happens and how long til TA2? I’d flip that around and say if you’re gonna vote yes then you must detail the path forward - exactly when/where will the company outsource, when will scope get fixed (easier outside of sec 6 negotiations &#128514, when will the massive retirement wave happen, why won’t the company just flood HSBY into the SWW, how fast will the contract for free 1% wet leasing get signed? Hey, if I’ve gotta predict the future to justify my NO vote then so do you 🤷🏼‍♂️
