Sailing, you can keep saying that you're "only saying blah blah blah", but you're failing to see the point: Your fellow Delta pilots are all telling you how boneheaded your point is. Now if you were onto something that only a genius could put together then I'd think you could make a reasoned argument for the layman to understand. But that's not the case here. Your math is pretty easy to figure out. The average person at this point typically pauses and reviews what they've said to see if they truly meant it. Have you taken this first step, or have you skipped it? Take a moment, collect your thoughts and ponder the idea that perhaps what you've suggested is just plain and simply a bad deal for the Delta pilot.
