Yes, of course we should have stuck together. But the assistants and engineers chose to believe management and the controllers did not and seemed ready for a fight and look what it got them. The controllers may not be totally happy with it, but its good enough for the assistants and engineers to want to kick up a fuss about it. Given managements misguided perception of an excess of assistants and engineers and obvious shortage of controllers do you really think they will want to continue negotiating equally with the three groups? Yes we should have stuck together and now that PCS has forced the issue, we may find it too late.
