It was briefed in the road shows etc that this was the added cost of the PWA.
The problem is that you believe what you are told or briefed during a roadshow. I do not. I need to see how those numbers were derived to determine the net value to pilots. It's like guys who say they made a million dollars in the stock market so far this year, and when you ask them how much they lost, the subject gets changed.
I think the evidence is clear that our contract added very little
net gain to pilots. All the dots connect to that conclusion despite DALPA's angry protestations to the contrary. DALPA could clear it up, but they won't. Because of that we may never know the truth. And sadly, even a rep like you may never know.
