Wake up, the world does not give a crap about what you think you are owed. No one cares, least of all me. If you let that form the basis of how you approach a business negotiation, you might as well surrender right now. You are really a sorry sight, quit feeling sorry for yourself, there are much worse things that can happen than losing a little money.
I'm at a loss to see how you think a response like this will persuade anyone. When you were an MEC admin, you were continually counseled against behaving this way to the reps and to the pilots. You just couldn't do it then, and you obviously still can't. DAL88 is a thoughtful poster that always comes armed with the facts. And this is his you treat him? Seriously?
With regard to what I bolded above, the concern of many of us is that's what you did at the MEC level and are still advocating now. Surrender early and let the time value of money work for you. But most of all, DO NOT upset our "partner." That was certainly my concern about you as well as slow, Hazzard and the rest.
Your attempt to portray DAL88 this way is a classic straw man argument. It's so plainly obvious, it's embarrassing.
