That's correct. But I don't think even you would make the claim that makes us the industry leader in Section 3.

That wasn't in the contract comparison Karnak, so we'd both be guessing. I'd guess it was a FedEx or Southwest guy.

Here's the note that Karnak thinks I've ignored. For Southwest, ADG says: "5:39**". In the notes column right next to it, the note says: "**Based on 6.5 TFP's". Southwest has an ADG of 5:39 while Delta has an ADG of 5:15. That's why I said Southwest has a higher ADG than Delta.

Spin all you like Karnak, it doesn't change the facts.
Again, I didn't get my data from you, I got my data from the DALPA contract comparison.

Crew augmentation is only one aspect of work rules. We lead in that aspect, but lag in all the others. Southwest and UPS lead in Work Rules. Leading in one paragraph of an entire section does not make you the industry leader in that section.
