Of course those are days that can't be pre-bid, but they are days off in the end. There were numerous items that were worse than what we have at DAL and UAL and the company said, OK, you can have that, but then you get all of DAL/UAL's contract and not just the good parts. I am not defending APA and will be one of the first in line to vote for ALPA when and if that time comes.
