But what are the compounded costs of the concessions? There are far more in the TA than PS reduction. Some of them are huge too. DL could start flying foreign metal painted and marketed as Delta. The AF JV could fall a couple percent more in block hours, with a radical shift in marketshare to AF. DCI gets a new lease on life and stays around longer. We get replacement E190s and 737s to replace larger higher paying equipment. Job losses all around not only from scope but from OE trip pulls, early day one reserves again and many other concessions that will cost us jobs. Reduced staffing due to longer training freezes for new hires. Reduced staffing because more pilots fly sick due to the huge third party land grab. This WILL happen 100%.

All of these have a compounding cost.

I'll take current book and the NMB any day over this TA.
