It's not arguable. I can't believe you seem to be trying to do so.



That's a meaningless point Bar. It makes no difference what remedy might have been used to bring us to the percentages set forth in our contract. It only matters that Delta management has not done what they can control to ensure the contractual percentages are met. And of course our "union" has done nothing but agree to longer time periods of non-compliance. But that's not Delta's problem, it's Delta's solution.



Delta doesn't have "difficulty" complying Bar. Our "union" has given them not one single bit of difficulty for not complying. We've only agreed to make it easier for them to not comply.
