I don't really think anyone knows what is motivating the company. This could be among one of the motivations to get something hammered out. However for them to think our Union is so stupid that if they sign a contract in November verses January it will save Pinnacle Incorporated a 4% raise for pilots, I hope they are giving us a little more credit. If Pinnacle is that simple minded then I would be feeling good about these negotiations.
