Sure you can. SWA, UPS, FDX and our foreign partners operate in the same industry. Our old contract is indeed a product of bankruptcy. But the question now is what's the strategy for our NEW contract? Every bit of communication from DALPA thus far is to make "significant" gains from the bankruptcy contract. Every bit of communication from DALPA thus far is to exclude SWA, UPS, FDX and our foreign partners from a contract comparison for our NEW contract. This is where DALPA is failing before section 6 begins. Failing the members that is...not failing management.

The fact he presided over the LOAs is just as important as one should judge his body of work. What if C2K was a one off for him? My opinion is that the give back to Delta pre-bankruptcy negated everything gained by C2K, that is, if you concede that the company got nearly everything they wanted in C2K in LOA #46. Are you are going to tell me next that his signature isn't on the LOAs? Was it a rogue NegCom that held a gun to his head and made him sign?
That's a topic for another conversation. This one is simply about stating that the guy who actually negotiated C2K is now a strong DPA supporter. Your continued deflection is really pretty sad about now.

I've never said anything to the contrary. You're the one that keeps trying to ignore what somebody did, versus what somebody presided over. I won't let you do that. But I know you'll keep trying.
