Yes, let's take that guys advice.
Interesting. You and the DALPA spin machine use their contract as a comparison when calling the TA "industry leading" but you clearly think it's substandard. So are you admitting that "industry leading" is another way of saying a "race for last place"? Could it be that when the DALPA spin machine peddles fear of the NMB's treatment of our TA in context of the rest of the industry, we are not talking apples to apples in the business sense? Are the industry standards products of a compromised economic and business environments for AA and UAL, whereas our contract is negotiated in an environment in which the company doesn't blink an eye at throwing around $6 billion?
