"...Comair strike was a giant step in the right direction".

Uh huh. How's that working out for ya?

The successful negotiations before the strike were a step in the right direction. The strike itself yielded virtually no contract improvement, and did nothing but satisfy JC's bloated ego and shoot the rest of the pilot group in the foot. But that's old news. I'm sure it has nothing to do with why nobody wants to buy CMR today.
