I will go back to block hours. The very first input to determine line holders in the staffing formula is block hours. Not flight segments, ASM's, or any other metric. If you want to protect Delta pilot jobs, you want to protect as many as possible and you want to protect them with the key item that creates jobs. If we cut a 757 from JFK to LAX and replace it with an out and back in a 717 from ATL to SAV, you doubled the flight segments and cut the manning required by two thirds. Please go back and read the staffing formula and understand it. It is in Section 22 of your contract, I believe page 3 or 4.

You didn't tell me what number you came up with in my math problem. No one else did either. I wonder why?
