Oberon, as I told you many pages back, "Restoration" isn't a strategy, it is a GOAL.

Before you can decide on the strategy to achieve the goal, you have to SET A GOAL!

"A big number" is not a goal. RESTORED PAY RATES is a definable goal.

The strategy (as I also laid out pages ago) is to demonstrate to the company, the share holders, the press, and if necessary, to the NMB, that the Delta Pilots have been the biggest contributors to Delta's financial success.

Now it's payback time.
