Donatelli also brought us the ADG of 5.15 a day which applies to reserves, 30 hr layovers, dh only duty periods and redeyes, NONE of which applied before (two day trips that paid reserves four hours anyone?). You should take a look at a ten year old bid package if you can find one. The trip values sucked.

TA1 was a failure but Donatelli did bring us real value prior to that, only no one remembers. TA2 was brought to you by John Malone, who understands the difference between false tough a la NWA-style perpetual middle fingers (which never yields anything except "likes" on social media) and the times to truly fight hard with pre-established support from the line pilots.

Inventing fake "outrage" via the crisis of the week ain't the way.
