Why would you sell off a profitable airline? Making a profit for six straight quarters is proof that the trend is positive and now is the time to get back your concessions.

If you think that 53% is outrageous then keep in mind that our last contract here in ex-commie land gave us a 50.5% increase in wages over three years. It's doable. Go for it!
