With the stellar information sharing we get I'd say right out of the gate they lock away 10-15% no votes on a deal of the century just by people not giving a crap anymore. Amazing how much we pay into this Union to get treated like a mushroom.

Actually, I predict worse. And truthfully, I am betting on it.

Although quite subjective, how much money will the company save on the non negotiated items by extending this contract? How much will the company operationally profit from the negotiated items on this extension?
Those are the numbers I would like to see before I consider an extension.

That's a pretty safe bet. History tells the cyclical nature of our industry and our economy. The next down turn is coming. There are scope busting aircraft orders at Skywest, Trans States, and Republic just waiting for the opportunity. There are mega widebody orders over at the ME3. There could be plenty of pilots available to fly them after the next round of furloughs. We should take all we can get while we can get it! NOW. Then prepare to KEEP it no matter what. If we go into Sect 6 and the next downturn comes upon us...we get nothing.

I agree about KY--which can be fun if used well in the right.....hands, but remember, it's not the destination, it's all about the journey.
Yes, the future will be different.
