Management was very proud of this feat they achieved on behalf of the shareholders...as they should have been.

Well you keep dancing around issues, never sticking to one argument. C2012 was NOT cost neutral for Delta pilots, it increased our compensation by $1 billion. Your previous argument was that it was cost neutral for Delta pilots and that is wrong and it is apparent that you are abandoning that argument at least until you dredge it up again.
I really don't care how Delta finds the money to pay for that or how they characterize that to their shareholders. They shifted the money from other payments to us and that makes you upset how?
If Delta can raise ticket fees by $100 a passenger and then give half of that to me for a gigantic raise, I don't really care that they make positive gains on the deal. I just want more money, the source is immaterial to me.
