The C2012 where we left millions on the table and took concessions that were completely unnecessary. Domestic flying is up 25% and we have the same number of pilots.
Is it your job to keep reminding us we left money on the table C12? We all know that. We all know we are negotiating with a vastly different company today in large part BECAUSE $ were left over. Now there is so much money DAL has not only solved the myriad issues it had in 2012 it is back to stock buybacks. Gentlemen and ladies: insert "Equine Excrement" every time you hear "returning value to shareholders." We are now barely 2 years past amendable on C12: about the norm to sign a contract and about to exchange openers. Turn the page gz. Sooo, I don't want to give up Profit Sharing either, but IF RA did cough up 40% DOS and no PS would you reject it? 777A at 378.35 hr + 56.75 to DC & 737A 303.68 hr + 45.55 DC, but no Profit Sharing! If the MEC and NC rejected that offer I would guess that would truly be the end of ALPA. JMO OFG
