Good stuff. It's hard not to wonder if anything would've been different for AC's aviation side if this had been resolved sooner.

Seems - in my opionion- that Allis was in good terms , then the union pushed to get more because they knew the deadline was established,,

Terre Haute was a hotbed of union extremism from early on.  I think it should have been forecastable by AC.
