New,

I am certain we will have the leading contract (we do deserve it and the revenue stream this airline will garner in the future dictates it). My point is that ALL at once has it own set of issues and we are not at that point yet. So why not stop giving away things for nothing now? Get something, any % is better than zero. Don't allow the MEC to side negotiate without extracting some real benefits and changes. I feel with all the stuff this airline wants to do they will be back talking to the MEC more than a few times for contractual relief. Not knowing what calamity or $230 oil will take place or happen in 2012, lets put some things into the contract that get us closer to that industry leading contract now.
