This is $1.76 less than the 2013 peak of $3.22.
Each penny represents a $40 million dollar annual fuel expense savings to Detla.
$1.76 X $40 million is $7 BILLION PER YEAR.
As the dollar continues to strengthen it will drive oil prices into the $30s and perhaps the high $20s.
Management negotiators destroyed our negotiating team. Plain and simple. Do not let them lower your expectations.
We need a minimum of an ADDITIONAL $250 million per year.
Together we will not fail. Together we will attain the "historic" C2015 we so richly deserve.
Of course to play devil's advocate here, our profit sharing was at it's maximum value with C15 TA-1. When jet fuel goes back up, it will not have the value it does right now.
Talk among yourselves... as usual.
