That's very interesting. Because the results and basic math do not support your premise.

If DALPA's goal is restoration, then why do they absolutely refuse to state it as such? If DALPA's goal is restoration, they why do they constantly argue against the kinds of improvements that are mathematically required to achieve it?

And how slow is acceptable to you? It's already been almost a full decade, and we're still at a 32.5% pay cut in buying power (not to mention the significant loss/increased cost of other benefits such as retirement and medical). At that rate, it would take a lot longer to achieve restoration than just about everyone in this current pilot group has left.
