Really? I've said the above a number of times before. And you've responded to it a number of times before. Is it really an "ears" problem or a memory problem?

"It's entirety"?
So how do you deal with the 253 large RJ's, 500+ smaller regional aircraft, AF/KLM/AZ Joint Venture, other international agreements, Skyteam, training, adjustment of pay for other aircraft types.
In one fell swoop you would cost the enterprise so much money in cancelled contracts, lack of ability to move passengers, elimination of international feed and connections, in addition to reconfiguring our entire workrule and pay package with unknown effects on the parts of the DAL operation that do not function anything like the SWA model.....
In other words, you destroy revenue generation, and increase cash outlay to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars. We'd be right back in BK within a month or two......
So the NMB would think that is reasonable how?
(Plus, many guys don't want the SWA contract... It's not "restoration" IMHO)
