Default 2012 Go Forward Plan (Something for pilots)

A couple of interesting points from the Go Forward Plan for 2012.

Under "Fund the Future" we have:

Contain growth in consolidated CASM (excluding fuel and profit sharing) to less than 3.0%
How do you think they plan to contain that cost growth to less than 3%?

Means we are still in for the long haul when it comes to negotiating the contract. That's pretty evident by this statement from the "Working Together" column:

Reach responsible joint collective bargaining agreements with as many work groups as possible
Seems to me the plan has other concrete goals so why is it so hard to say "Reach 'responsible' joint collective bargaining agreements with all work groups." I thought leadership was supposed to have firm goals to be achieved in 2012. Instead vague statements such as "with as many work groups as possible" indicate they don't have much confidence in actually completing this merger anytime soon.

Putting it into perspective, 3% is over a billion dollars in combined costs. Sounds like they have room to pay us. Regardless, what they say is irrelevant.
