Now the real question should be when these talks started. Now even if I were a bad lawyer, which would still be a leg up from Gene, I'd make the argument that since the furloughs were not yet effective at the time of the agreement that the leasing of these planes to someone other than RAH pilots did in fact lead to more furloughs that wouldn't have initially existed had the planes been flown by RAH pilots.
