Alan,

Ed used that exact phrase when addressing the other employee groups and telling them about their new/early pay raises because of it. It was on the Deltanet and the vote wasn't even over when he did it. Immdiately DALPA came out to say how we were getting pay raises so you had to know that it was not cost neutral. Funny how those kind of articles disappear when you go looking for them. Just like I can no longer find SD's June pilot blast where he said that if we would sign off on this contract, 2012, we could be hiring as early as this fall (2012). (Apparently SD did want to hire at that time but was shot down by the BOD)
