I wish we knew how to cost a proposal, I wish we knew the magic number of what will break the company what will allow us both to prosper. We as the average line pilot don't know that, we have no clue. We can stand on a stump and demand to be paid with our peers, but who are our peers? How far are we willing to go? Strike, bankruptcy, liquidation?

We do know how. That is why we have people from Spirit ALPA and from ALPA national working on the negotiations. Cost analysis is part of why you pay dues. Do you not think that Delta and United have a way to cost out contract items for their negotiations? Our peers are anyone else who flies the same number of people or plane type in the US. Yes, Not a chance if paid industry standard, and Again not a chance to your last three questions. Look at how much the company is making, do you think your extra seat worth of pay to come up to standard is going to break the bank?
