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.
I think that's what folks are talking about. There will be some give and take, there always is in every negotiation. But what matters is whether you come out ahead or behind in the give and take of negotiations. The expectation is that when the company is doing well you come out ahead. To borrow from your analogy we give $5 and get $100 back.
