“One of the major objectives of this Section 6 negotiation, as determined by the survey, was to increase the amount of flying done by the mainline. While scope is arguably the most complicated section of the PWA, the goal was quite simple: Seek to improve the ratio of flying done by the mainline, increase mainline block hours, and increase mainline aircraft.”
So our goals were to:
Improve the ratio of flying done by mainline versus DCI
Increase mainline block hours
Increase mainline aircraft
There are a number of ways to measure these objectives. In this case, we use:
Block hour ratio
Available seat mile (ASM) ratio
Domestic fleet count
Scheduled seat ratio
Scheduled seat count
Perfect. Now both sides can decide which methodology they prefer.

Both documents set forth goals and objectives. Both define them accurately and properly. You drive off the road with your falsehood of "we'll try" however. Outside of this, it was a pretty good post...for you.
