2) Profit sharing unchanged (current levels, not TA)
3) +2% to DC plan
4) Section 1 unchanged or REAL improvements, no more 70+ seat RJs
5) This is a biggie to me. AMENDMENT DATE 12/31/2014
This would give productivity improvements the company wants and a contract we don't have to swallow for so many years. Since this TA was negotiated in short order, it may behoove both parties to have shorter contracts with quick paced negotiations in this highly dynamic business environment.

I'd could probably back that. Personally I can't, nor am I willing, to get past scope.
I think it's time to release the survey results. Seeing as the results were withheld under the rationale that exposing said results could compromise the negotiator's position, now that the negotiation process is complete DALPA has no reason to withhold that information.
To all the guys supporting this TA/defending DALPA I have one question....
If this is the BEST the negotiators could come up with, that what is the WORSE they could have come back to us with?
