This contract when fully executed will have DAL pay rates at the top of the industry, and there will be a massive shift in pilot jobs back to mainline. That was always the goal. These conclusions are not opinions and are well supported by the actual numbers in the TA as clearly detailed in this point paper.
There will also be a massive increase of large regional jets to DCI.

This is no different. What if the survey results were unattainable? Their job is to get us the best deal possible. No union (accept the New Jersey, and California teachers) will ever get everything their membership wants.
If you own the house outright or have a lot of equity in the house $175K is a winner over $200K that may never come.
If you're not in a hurry and you owe $220K and were willing to sell for $200K and pay out $33K out of your own pocket... $175 doesn't look that good.
