Let me get this straight:
We were about to engage in CC when they walk in with a white flag and a last minute offer...
Meanwhile, at the lair, many of the flights aren't properly crewed until the day before, CC is red lining plugging holes in the roster.
It seems to me that the whole thing is about to fall off the hinges and that they simply cannot let CC happen, yet they walk in with just before the shutters close to offer us less than what the CXcity janitors got without even asking for it.
They are asking us to accept a pay cut for this year and the next two, not to mention the last 5 or more.
Hmmm. Let me think about that one...
...nope.
