Sorry, but I don't. But, if the dpa wins the day and we have to replace them, then I will demand satisfaction from a bunch of guys that have all but guaranteed me restoration.

Get completely rid of Caplinger, and you will garner more interest. He is a liability at this point.

Frankly, I think everybody needs to wind their watch before sending in a donut card at this point. I like VERY little that I have seen as of yet in this thing, but I am very interested in hearing the logic and explanations before burning the house down.

I'll tell you a couple of things that really stick in my craw personally, and if you have read my stuff, they will come as no surprise.
One: They continually hold up the 777 rates as an apparent great thing while ignoring the FACT that very few will enjoy those rates, ever. We are a medium gauge airline. Hold up the 330 rates if you want, but to "sell" this based on 777s is ludicrous. The 350s won't even get here until we are working on a new deal, so why are they even in the discussion?
Two: I didn't want PS touched inside section 6, and to then use that monitization of PS in the pay increase is again disingenuous. We are not getting a 14.48% pay increase, we are getting an 8% pay increase. Just be honest with that.
