LOL - nice one.I will go for the chance to go on strike and then lose my job since AAI has no cash just like the letter said that I got today. I am glad they did not get Midwest since AAI has no cash. That would have been embarassing, AAI wins the $450mil bid for MEH but they really have no money so the deal is off.
I got a chance to speak at length with Seth Rosen in D.C.
He has been told again and again that we don't have the cajones as a group to obtain an "industry-leading" contract so, as a fall-back position, he's agreeing with the mindset to obtain some gains in pay and ride on the coattails in 6-7 years of the other carriers who really attain gains.
It's all about risk management and loss/gain calculations, and the NPA isn't willing to try to play hardball, so Seth has pointed out what they can get without taking it to the mat.
Take it to the mat, and the entire game changes. THAT'S what the NPA won't tell you, because they're not prepared to fight that fight.
