And how many hundreds of millions of dollars were lost due to NALPA's irrationality by failing to act on the original, pre-merger JPWA/SLI deal in February? A damn sight more than we stand to lose if this JPWA is voted down.

I agree with T-Square. Opposition to this JPWA has nothing to do with the substantial increases NWA guys are getting. The terms of the JPWA just don't merit approval.
