Anyone voting for this solely for the retro is incredibly short sighted.
I didn't use the word 'idiot'.
I'm fully aware of the delivery schedule, the United Next plan, and the need for Captains. I think you're making a lot of assumptions and drawing self serving conclusions. Do you really think the company doesn't have other options/plans they're willing to go with? How far are you willing to go to find out? Do you think they won't cut off their nose to spite their face?
I'll close with 2 observations. First, your adversary ALWAYS has a vote. Second, in negotiations (life in general) of this scale you NEVER have anyone 'over the barrel'.
