Not a lot of great SA applied to the details of getting those things or staying ahead of those things. For me neither of those held the top 4 requirements for a yes vote. But with a redounding yes vote it is certainly time to know and live the contract and start to focus on the next one. Not sure we will have the unity and pretty sure we will be under another “Chicken Little” event. SA will still be the best tool we have. Hoping a Trojan Horse does not appear this fall.
Rules to improve negotiating capital going forward.

1. Let Delta go first.
2. Don't ratify contracts during election season hysteria.

Those two simple changes would have improved our outcome dramatically.
