In recurrent in November Bendo came to speak and he was rather proud to confirm that we were in fact previously $47 mil apart and that significant progress was made to the tune of then being $25 mil apart. He then described how close that actually was by indicating that the new contract over its span would be paying $5 bil to the pilots. If true, close indeed.
I am going to throw the BS flag though, because if we were truly THAT close on a $5 billion dollar deal, AND they actually wanted a deal, they'd flippin just pay the lousy $24 mil.
Something fishy in Denmark. Path to parity is garbage. Parity at DOS or it's a really easy NO vote.
