Contract Admin published a great deal of data on the effect on jobs, which if the company had hired for those positions was 60 positions made up of 20 Captains and 40 First Officers.
We still have the 48.5% measurement metric which now triggers a new Global BH protection which is 75,000 Widebody BH more than what is currently protected by the Virgin agreement (although that agreement measures in ASK, not BH).
You are right on a great many of your points. I would just encourage you to make your best case and not dilute your message with hyperbole and exaggeration. The data is there to support you and your support for good scope is appreciated by all Delta pilots.
I read your posts, and you seem to be saying that this scope change isn't a bad deal for us. I disagree. I think the data is on my side.
