Despite attacks on their fortitude and unionism, I'm grateful that many of the men who brought us the "Dot" and C2k are still working on our behalf.
Wasn't the "Delta Dot" a product of "the hammer" (3.b.6) that was immediately and permanently given up to get C2k in the first place?

In any case, UAL was only able to pattern off the Dot in the first place because they exibited an unprecidented level of resolve and unity rarely seen in the modern era. But you're right in that the Delta Dot was used by them as a higher target than they otherwise would have likely been able to aim for and hit.
