that is a very good question. Never in airline history have companies been making so much money. Is this something our Union is allowed to use as an argument in front of a mediator? In other words, if a mediator wants to base discussions on "past precedent", that precedent no longer exists. Delta is making so much $$, yet will a mediator see that as a reasonable argument? Hey judge, they're making money, we want some of it.
On the other hand, what reasonable judge/person would say "hey they're making 5+B a year and they want to reward their labor with scraps..."?
