If you took to flipping a house and suddenly realized it commanded 3x market rent, was appreciating like a rocket ship, and you were smart, you'd postpone your plans to sell it.
The airline is too valuable - It will only be parted with, whether to the public or another corporation, when the same output (which is minimal) of energy and investment can make more elsewhere.

I completely agree with you. Unfortunately.

2.100% deadhead pay
3. Trips dropped during transition 100% paid...no more having to scramble for trips to get hours up.
4. No more 10 hours of rest during the day then back on reserve that night. At block in you should be off until the next DAY rdp.
The list goes on, these are just off the top of my head.

Delta, Southwest, and Hawaiian (if they ratify) all got significant retro. From what I've heard on the line I don't think our NC has made it a high priority. I hope that changes as negotiations drag on. The company needs to know there are consequences for their bad behavior with concern to the current and future contracts.
