Thanks.
Well, for starters we've had the first picketing take place in AirTran's entire history. After five years of negotiations when our independent union wasn't doing anything to fight back, ALPA came on the property and immediately started helping us with SPC events and family awareness outings. Communications has also improved to an amazing degree. We've also got two sets of negotiating dates set for each month now, where we used to be lucky to get a few days every 3-4 months. Lots of improvement in a very short time.
