Always a UALRATT!! SLED, you're sliding all over the place though. Pre DAL's current contract which by your interpretation of "industry leading," was leading back then, DAL +1 was unacceptable, yes? Fast forward, and an apples to apples comparison of current INDUSTRY rates, Southwest B737 current rates are $216/$157 compare to DAL's current rates of $188/129. Your aircraft, the 757 at Fedex pays $218/185 compared to DAL's current $197/134. So just that we're on the same page, you mean DAL leading and not industry leading.

Your sliding's also got you on your back on scope. From previous posting you delighted (like most of us) with the fact that market economics were forcing a reduction of RJ flying across the industry. Yet the smell of few fresh grains of beans will cull that euphoria, and your appetite for much boarder reductions. Guess with your seniority and dollars signs flashing in your eyes, you're certain to be immune from that disease. One's got to first have the ticket before they can cash in.

From the shape of their heads and their instinctive behaviors, DAL and UAL are two different beasts. What UAL need is a contract that reflects the nature of it's venomous character...
