I am not sure if this is sarcasm or not. We do need to chose a path and so far that path has been be incredibly accommodating. the farther down that path we go the harder it is to turn back. Remember the NMB is like a marriage counselor. Their customer is the Marriage or in this case the airline. If one side gives up most of the time and the other almost never gives up. What course do you think will get you out of work earlier? We need bargaining chips that don't rely on pity. We have enough and it's not taken us very far.

I don't see F9 putting up the numbers to make it worthwhile. They will throw some low ball numbers out Possibly some of which our union may entertain. I doubt it but maybe. To me this is like eating you foot because your starving, Now your not hungry, but it's much harder to get food in the future.
We are in Negotiations. They don't need to take 15 years. Pay your hand wrong and they will.
