As usual, the company is playing a great game of cards. They can use the PW 757 rumor to intimidate the mechanics to sign, and for the pilots to give more voluntary concessions, and/or open up the contract before the economy starts to recover. And/or it may be of use to get Miller to back off on the management pilot fiasco, but wait...it's election season, so all bets are off for any semblance of reality. With a little luck, loads will pick up enough so they keep all the 757's on line.
The perfect storm continues.
