But again, I'll let others look at the rest of the DALPA contract comparison where other airlines beat us in nearly every pay category, and decide if the best profit sharing formula means we lead the industry in Section 3.

I didn't say my source was Karnak, I said my source was the DALPA contract comparison.

I understand how you'd want to diminish that. First World problems.
Not trying to diminish it at all. That portion of the work rules is the best, but your claim that it's an important portion is debatable...especially since we're comparing with airlines that don't do long haul. Again, the Work Rules leaders are UPS and Southwest. Delta pilots are not.
