keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
making decisions for the good of the profession allows the splitting of the baby possible. National has to sign every contract regardless of the point of view of each property.
a clear vision of where the profession needs to go is sorely needed but it is not rocket science. unity not division is key. just hold alpa's feet to the fire regarding nonmainline contracts and most of the heavy lifting is done. metaphor mode mode off.
