HUH!? What's the risk? You think it would go backwards, or that we would except less? The whole thing would play out the way it should under the RLA with us having the MOST and BEST leverage we have and will ever see in this industry. SO much hyperbole from the AUTO yes crowd that read Section 2, Overrides and Retro Bonus percentages. You haven't even seen the implementation language or how the retro will be calculated and paid for tax purposes.

If you dont read TOF and only scowl the executive summary with your own narrow mind, you will miss a lot of legit concerns and possible concessions with this contract. I'm seeing massive negotiating fatigue from the pilot group, even the ones that have only been here for less than half of the negotiations. Reminds me of what I saw as a NH in class with MIL guys, fresh out, that have been used to subordination for so long, that even below industry average things in the contract and with the company was acceptable or great to them.

I'm still on the fence. I think we can do better, but still reading away to be convinced we should lock in the gains without pressing more.
