It was just a 2 year extension that still upped the game in pattern bargaining for pay and furlough protections. The furloughees got their full longevity credit with retro to 2012 (finally). It's no wonder it passed by such a large margin. No brainer.
Placing the 787 on the 767 routes would have been an inefficient use of capital. Then what do you do with the 767s sitting around? All of that would have cost $$. Furlough protections are worth the paper they are written on. The furloughees would have gotten their credit including retro. Originally Posted by guppie

We are making 26% more per hour now than the Jan 2017 (end of contract) pay rates. That Delta snap up REALLY paid off!!

I'm not saying the extension wasn't beneficial. It was a roll of the dice.
