Actually Elvis I agree with you on sustainability and would love to see pattern bargaining. The difference is how fast we get there. I think we will get there faster by using this TA as a springboard, then SW gets a raise then eventually UCAL/AA then it's our turn again. You feel we should get it all at once, that's reasonable to you and lot's of others. I personally don't think that will fly with either DL or the NMB and that's where our difference is.
