It'll also require intellectuals who can spell.

No it doesn't. Apples to apples comparisons are easily obtained as each item is costed out during negotiations. Our "union" has that data and could have easily shown us an apples to apples comparison. They chose not to. Instead, they (and you) chose a highly partisan series of contract comparisons and historic comparisons. Partisan in favor of management's point of view, not pilots. Imagine a "union" doing that?!

Then let's hear about some of those nuggets Free Mason. And by the way, nothing is "changed forever."

Not a single person here has stated that's what they're demanding. Not one. When you try to make those you disagree with look foolish by stating things they never said, it makes you look weak and incapable of debate.

Let's hear some of your "approaches" to many items Free Mason.

Ah yes, stomping your feet and holding your breath until you turn blue as a strategy. Yup, that's exactly what we're advocating alright. You DALPA-oids are such devastating debaters.
