If you guys don't drop every claim except the job security....you're stuffed.
Imagine AJ trying to explain how they can't reach an agreement with the pilots after they have just dropped all but one claim. It would certainly show the public you are serious about one thing and not just after a bit more cash in your pockets etc. Go for a zero wage increase, you might g backwards a bit for three years but not much,it's not like you're going to starve....if you are, sell your flat screen tv and buy a supply of potatoes to get you through winter.
In my opinion, as an observer, that is the only thing that might.....might swing this towards getting the board to act after AJ loses public favour, and getting the board to do something is the only way the plans in place might be changed a bit.
