WHOA!!!Like you said, getting a contract soon might be a miracle, but If we do, we could see Skywest like growth
Stop right there, man, and take a good, close look at what you just said.
THAT'S the kind of thinking that spurs these whole carrot-dangling maneuvers that you see in that new agreement with Northwest.
If you pick ONE thing up from this thread, and ONE thing only: DO NOT EVER, EVER, EVER accept growth for a sh*tty contract. You WILL end up regretting it later. I promise you.
Stick to your guns, you'll probably STILL get growth, and do it on MUCH better contractual terms. Have faith in your MEC; one or two are a PITA and will (hopefully) be gone soon, but the majority of them, including two guys on the NC I know VERY well personally, are standup guys and WILL get you a good contract if you have the solidarity to give them the negotiating capital they need.
Good luck to you!
