Unfortunately the IBTs motto appears to be "Bring them to their knees", and nothing gets done. Hell, the last election the current Eboard basically campaigned on taking a different approach to negotiations and collaborating. The opposing slate, and its supporters were more "Fight!", "burn it to the ground".

Hell, even recently the current NC decided to move towards the company's request on PBS, yet, they are currently negotiating and discussing guardrails, pay, and other things that will alleviate the pilot group when/if the company decides to unstack up to 70%. Opposers of the current Eboard or people that for too long believed all the IBT BS propaganda were already screaming "CONCESSIONS! CONCESSIONS! CONCESSIONS".

As someone before you just said, we have to give this Eboard the benefit of the doubt at this time. We need to lock something down and soon, and personally I do NOT believe it will be concessionary or "The company mailer".
