See, everybody? That wasn't so hard!

TWeenie, you crack me up. Here is your original question. Look for the sentence with the "?" mark in there.

Does anyone remember what % the other employee groups ended up giving back after the second round?
The company is in the "divide and conquer" mode, and when the F/As, rampers, and gate agents start with their whining, I want to be able to quantify who gave up what, which should help them align their expectations.

I could imagine Lee's post reinforcing what I thought you already knew, so from your question I assumed you were looking for more ammo to fight your battle. That's what "other employee groups" mean to me. I think most pilots would have gone out of their way to help you a long time ago if they knew that was what you were looking for.
What would really be entertaining is to be down in ground crew's lunch room listening, as you explain Lee's stuff to the guy who is always trying to cut you off with his baggage cart hauler at the intersection of taxiway A7 and the service road. You know the one...
Brother you need to apologize to this group for leading us down the wrong track
