What Alfa is stating makes a lot of sense for the current conditions. The companies financial health and outlook will change greatly this year much less 2011 and beyond. I do not think that at this time anyone can state X will not be achievable.
I can... I'll betcha a steak dinner we won't see C2K payrates.

Alfa is wise in pointing out many of these things. He's been there, but this company is about to morph in to something we have all been waiting more for many moons. Lets wait and see what that is before we paint ourselves in to one idea or direction. Time is on our side. We need to start formulating our proposal soon, but it is OK to have a few drafts sitting on the table.
Time is on your side if you are 30. If you are a 45 year old deadzoner, you really don't have the luxury of a contentious contract negotiation that drags out till 2015.
