I must respectfully ask you, what other "tangents" would you have suggested ALPA follow??

If you read JG's masterful submission, it is patently obvious that it is the company that is not negotiating in good faith.

It is the company that is seeking to extract dollars from our collective wallets in the form of 4A2B.

They will have an excess, but I predict they won't furlough. Let's remember one thing. It was costing the company a measly 1 million dollars per month to buyup all of the lines. Now that BLG's are sub 62 in some seats, what the average is I don't know, they are probably banking in the neighborhood of 3 million a month savings. That is our money folks. If they furlough, the BLG's snap-back, i.e. no more 3 million a month savings, they lose this crewforce's loyalty, most likely for ever since the junior folks will inherit the farm eventually and we are the ones being trampled on most, and Wall Street will take notice.

Quit questioning the Union, and just follow the CBA. It isn't hard to do.
