The difference is that you can think of the NC as our "buyer's agent" and I can promise you that they didn't take mgmts first or tenth offer. I can assure you that they presented a TA that they felt was the most value they could extract.
The better analogy would be after some torturous negotiating at the dealer you came out with the Passat and your wife was still upset about what you got.
That doesn't mean that no voters are wrong. I highly respect their votes so long as they read the language and decide that only a no vote is warranted. I just fell that our imperfect TA today is still the "least bad" option.
I respect other opinions however. And guess what? If the TA is rejected (which I don't think will happen) the world will still go on and DAL will still make money. I just think our options are
slightly brigher over the next three years if the TA passes.
