Who wouldn't pick Spirit over Mesa if the requirements are the same and they just need a body in the right seat?

You listed some nice things we may want next round and I've heard some common others on the line, so here's an example of what we want:
Cal Day Rigs, Redeye Override, better international pay, stronger scope, better LTD, 16% DC, higher hourly rates, better per diem, better reserve flexibility, higher instructor override, 8 hours for ground school, etc.

Do we have a list of things equally long to give them back for your "quid pro quo"? Our strongest argument seems to be people won't come here or apply next round if things aren't "good enough" here, but at this point, it is significantly than a regional, and if the company is willing to (like last round) drop the mins to the same as the regionals, and hire almost everyone on the spot, what do we do? What is there to give up if something must always be traded? No one has been able to answer that.
