Did humans negotiate this TA?
Most staffing formulas at most airlines mean nothing. At Delta, we wanted a real backstop that provided real protections. An airline is a complicated system so, yes, the formula is complicated. The last time Delta went below the staffing formula, each pilot got a $1,000 check as a settlement and they had to hire to fill in the requirements. That was in 2007.
