At least two negotiating cycles???? How did you come up with this nonsense? This is a management argument, certainly not one a rep should be making. Please provide detailed facts on how you reached this bold assertion. Was it RA's "don't get greedy" line or SD's "stay humble" remark that brought you to this line if thinking? Or was it a combination? Or did this opinion arise as a result of "consensus" too?

DAL is in its best financial position ever. This industry is and has always been cyclical. The time is NOW. If you think we're going to be in the same financial shape 7-10 years down the road you are sorely mistaken.
