This should be easy, given what I have seen on the comparisons.

*disclaimer - I know how good the SWA contract really is
Exactly correct! But instead we have DALPA erroneously talking about how you: "better be careful what you wish for because SWAPA's contract would require us to furlough_____pilots because the SWA pilots are so much more_____than we are."

More importantly, it would be easily defensible in front of the NMB at the end of the process to simply say: "SWA plus 5%...scope and all."
