Not to beat a dead horse but:
1) NW has had how many contracts over the years??
2) This will be the 2nd contract at CHQ (correct me if I'm wrong) since its formation in 1974.
3) In 4 years, we will be able to "stick it to 'em" on pay. Besides, has anyone seen the 170 in service yet.... no, it takes time to bring those online as well.
4)These pay rates are our openers, we build on them from here.
5) Did Comair get an industry leading contract on their second shot during the WORST DOWNTURN IN AIRLINE HISTORY ??
Just some things to think about.
