Make no mistake, the MEC during that time was scared to death...

What is it up to now, $0.50/gal of Jet A? 
Add insult to injury, isn't EK subsidized by the Royal Family/Government? I'm unaware of this fact, just asking out of curiosity?

It was the same TA we just got and DALPA told us we would get a better deal once NW was with us and DALPA brings us a TA with the same stuff with just minor gains. Green Slip and SC from 8 to 6. Vote that down. Its passed. Thats what scares me.

We must pattern well above the top of the industry and we must have up side protections for when not if this company triples or quadruples its profits under this agreement.
We have leverage right now whether or not we think we do. All of this talk in the news about consolidation affirms my belief that once this deal is done the events start happening.
