I won't need to eat crow because it's not MY statement. It is the statement of the Council 20 chairman and the MEC has said NOTHING else to the contrary. If the MEC ultimately decides to share the opener after it's exchanged with management, that's great. It has always been that way. But this time will be different. Of course, not even the company will be able to see our opener until after the meet and confer sessions with the MEC's of our RJ competitors. Wonder when that meeting will be? Wonder what will be said?

How would any of us know what the desires of the pilot group are? DALPA will never release those survey results.

You know nothing about me. I'm fine with pay banding. We already have it. The B747 is 250,000 pounds heavier than a B777 but the pay is the same at Delta. If we get more pay banding, it's just more of what we aleady have.

I don't have "little" idea what goes into the opener, I have NO idea what goes into it. None of us do, because DALPA will never release any portion of those survey results.

Then it is what it is. I'm not afraid of the truth, DALPA is.
