Putting your feelings aside, do you dispute the numerical result of the previous 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....

There has been numerous improvements and increase in the intervening 9 years, not nearly enough for us to be restored; how does that progress stand in comparison/contrast to our peers who also took a ride in bankruptcy?

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.
