I don't quantify taking $100 out of someone's pocket, then handing them a $5 bill as a give and take. I look at it as someone taking $95 out of somebody's pocket.
The bankruptcy LOAs cost the pilots ALOT more than it did the company. I don't see at as unreasonable to think that C2015 should cost the company ALOT more than it does the pilot group. I don't believe we should be giving any concessions, and if it is part of the deal than we should demand an apples to apples cost comparison.
