Two points. First, I'll bet you DALPA opens with less. Second, it's a hell of a lot more than just total pilot costs sailingfun - it's their AMAZING Scope language. You add their Scope along with their pilot costs and that would be an amazing contract for us. More importantly, the NMB would have no leg to stand on for parking us when management started screaming bloody murder.
