You said we ended up with the best work rules, the best pay rates, etc. That was wrong then and it's wrong now. The chart clearly shows that.

"Of no significance?" I figured you would think that. When you can't attack accuracy, you attack significance.

I'm looking at the contract comparison that was just put out by DALPA. You were wrong about your bankruptcy assertion, now we're moving on to how wrong you are about inferring we have the best contract in the industry.

See above. We're moving to the next topic.

That was your exact statements back before C2012 and it always fascintated me. You said we couldn't talk about SWA because they have a different business model, and we couldn't talk about UPS and FDX because they don't compete in our industry. What's fascinating is that you made these statements at a time when you held a senior level position in the MEC administration. I can't imagine why you would do that. You were supposed to be making our case...not management's case. Yet you consistently stated these ridiculous arguments that hurt the negotiating position of the pilots you were supposed to be working for. Very strange.

Really? Please let us know why they are useless in today's environment.
