Not trying to answer the question directed specifically at one guy, and hopefully Brad will expand on my limited view of this.
But from the article
How We Overcame Cultural Inertia and Saved Millions you will see how our crew actions in this area alone saved $265M.
I agree with you 2cylinderdriver, and would also like to see the numbers you request, but from our NC. The $ amount of savings achieved by diverting more medical costs to us, getting rid of HILO, maximizing work hours from those retiring via SLB, minimizing use of SCK, loss of 1st Class DH's, hotel room trigger increased to 5 hours, memorialized use of company jumpseat, 18 hour checkin and less hotel standbys, efficiencies through SLR's addition of 20% of R-days, etc... would be great to know to have a balanced view of the TA. But, the gained efficiencies and their monetary value, are not properly addressed in any video or roadshow, only the 'gains' are ever discussed in depth. Our Block 1 Rep, among others, have attempted to get the information, but have been unable to.

Not ridiculous at all when taken into the larger context of Delta rejecting their TA. Those 3 TA's rejected speak to how airline pilots as a group, are tired of the significant QOL degradation in the last 10-20 years.
