I don't deign to know what's in people's hearts or minds, but I do recognize where their self interests lie. It's very hard to be altruistic when faced with only 10 years left to make enough to live on for the rest of your life.
Maybe the inverted seniority of the Roberts Award will save us. Maybe there are enough senior Green guys on narrow bodies to realize how shortsighted trading pay for jobs would be. Watch how many bids we have between now and contract time and see if that anomaly is rectified.
