Not sure why your trying to rationalize rumor and innuendo. Especially when we have barely even discussed compensation with the company.
Nice first post....
Thank you, nice to be here. I prefer math to rhetoric. I do not rationalize rumor, cloud anything, or mislead anyone. After observing the discussion here I presented a scenario based on other posts. Increasing constants and eliminating variables for an equation makes it possible to find results in a quest for "X". (remember Algebra 1?). That being understood, do you dispute the numerical result of the aforementioned scenario?

I mention no such thing as "giving anything away". I am fully aware of what was lost before and during bankruptcy. Bankruptcy stinks, go ask the investors who lost everything they had in DAL! The pilots received a Note, Claim, Equity, pay raises tied to profitability, PS plan, D&S fund to name a few....Let's get back to what you were alluding to with your first question though. Given a choice, which would you prefer in your personal saving account:
A)A promise to pay you $1,200 more than a year from now if I don't have other expenses..
OR
B)$100 every month all year long.
