It would help me have faith that ALPA did everything possible in the negotiations and that they met the majority's goals.

Some might say, well then, your personal minimum was not 25%. I can live on what we make right now. However, I think the average of the Delta pilots' opinions would be a very good indicator of what we are actually worth, just as the market determines stock price. That number should be made public.

Respectfully submitted.
