No doubt this would be bad news to the general public and sales would most certainly decrease as a result. However, their biggest problem is not sales, its profitability. They do not have to regain market share that they once had back in the 70's and 80's to be a viable company. They do however have to restore profitability. Simple economics here I know. But, filing C-11-B will allow them to reorganize and get out of ridiculous union contracts that are sucking the life right out of them.
