I'm yet to see what the rush was.
Interestingly, it's odd to see anything done in a rush with these deals. I'm guessing the 717 negotiations had been under tight security since probably even before the SWA-AT merger was announced. We were rushed along as part of the scheme to sell us the "product".
Oddly enough had we rejected the TA or had the MEC decided to pursue better for the 717s, we still probably wouldn't be hiring with neutral 2013 block hours. Then the TA would have gotten done next year, and it's possible that the stagnation would have been more persistent.
Are you being cynical since DAL Legal's spin is better than yours, or just for the sake of being cynical? I prefer the latter.
