The only argument that will fly at the NMB is pay at our competitors, and we're getting no help here. If c2015 sucks, it's going to suck because AMR and United gave us nothing to work with.
They didn't do a huge leapfrog relative to us, but they did relative to themselves and that's huge. The baseline is way higher now than it was in 2012. Just getting the insane USAir rates up to AA's current rates was a massive step forward. Its a good time to get improvements, and no time for concessions of ANY KIND!
