Why do you think Richard wants this contract done ASAP? March is always the weakest quarter. Baring any Black Swan events, 2015 will be huge. Richard's E+F/A team is a heck of a lot better than ALPA's. Richard predicted $6 Billion for 2015, and 2016, without hedging losses, and with even more debt paid off, could be $10 Billion.
I'll bet we end up trading Profit Sharing for 3% raises...again.
Automatic NO vote if we do.

Of course, when Labor Risk is off the table.... what leverage do we have?

They sure seem confident in a pilot contract being done before the due date. Not sure how they expect only a 2% increase in employee costs and a new pilot contract. Sure sounds like they don't plan on reaching into the wallet. Perhaps they already have direction from ALPA and offsets are in the works.
Also confirmed that we will be down to 7 747's at the end of this year with only 6 flying.

Have you noticed they always say "2%" in every earnings report? That's the magic number Wall Street wants to hear. Any more than that and they start to panic that our costs are growing out of control...

I agree with everything you said, Timbo. I just think making assumptions with only 25% or the necessary data points might be a little "presumptuous".
If we trade profit sharing for a 3% raise! I think there will be a riot. And more than a few guys might go out on medical disability with exploding head syndrome.
