I know that we should not compare ourselves to the other employee groups, however if we do go to mediation and eventually arbitration it should be pretty easy to show that the other employee groups at Delta have leaped well ahead of their pre-giveback rates while we still lag significantly.

The FA's are the only group that have their rates readily available and they are about 18.6% above their pre-giveback rates (based on a 100 hour month). I would have to assume that the other employee groups current rates have jumped by about the same amount.
