And they are going to return money to the owners whether you like it or not. They are not going to give all those billions to us no matter how long we continue to say no. You want to be restored? Great. I do to, but I am not naïve enough to believe that by saying no at every opportunity that it is magically hoping to happen one day. They have the RLA, and as long as that exists, we have a contract and cannot do anything about it until released. You think we have a case for better with an arbiter? Make it. I'm anxious to hear it.
But at least we showed 'em we have a backbone for whatever that's worth.

Guess what, labor risk is no longer off the table. You're right, management can hoard money and/or give it away to everyone but the pilot group but they may not like the latent blowback headed their way.
Take down the white flag, stand up and be counted man!

Even guys who don't agree with Carl acknowledge his intellectual prowess, leadership, and concern for the pilot group.
