ACL,
Thanks for the response. I do have a few questions though:

1. Why spend 1.7M selling the crap out of it? If this is the best we were going to get, why not tell us, "this is short of what we deserve but it's all they will give us. It's up to you to decide?" The all out sales job, black shirts and down playing all the concessions doesn't align with what you're saying.

2. Sure PRASM may be coming down. It happens in a competitive market place as costs come down. Fuel was WAY down and Margins are skyrocketing. This is what adds to the bottom line. To only look at PRASM is a very selective and seems to serve the purpose of pushing an agenda--in this case having us believe the airline sector has peaked and profits are going to start going down. Again, this did not serve the pilots well. Margins are expanding and profits are skyrocketing.

Thanks again for your engagement, but what happened is significant and shouldn't just be washed over. This can't happen again.

On the other hand, welcome back.
