It doesn't matter that they took 3 or 4 years to get the rates - we are now lagging the industry. It is much easier for us to get a big bump since we are lagging vice when the TA was defeated and our rates were more toward the top. But I assume you know this.
Do you actually want a large raise? Or would rather us fail miserably so guys can see "See - we should have passed the last TA" because that is exactly how your posts are coming across.
The last TA is history yet you continue to go around implying what fools 65% of the Delta Pilots are. How do you see the talking down of UPS and or the Southwests deals as helping us any?

Everyone wants a raise.
Nobody wants a raise <= TA1
It's always possible we'll end up with <=TA1 if we execute poorly
How do you see the talking up or down of any other contract helping or hurting us? Don't the facts suffice?
