Why do people seem to think the proposed rates are so radical? Everyone else is negotiating too, I guarantee once DAL's and UAL's rate proposals are made public ours will look pretty similar.

And for the love of god, for ONCE in airline contract history can we PLEASE PLEASE not get tunnel vision toward base pay rates or get blinded by dollar signs? They don't mean isht if the work rules aren't there to back them up and THAT'S where our focus should be after seeing that term sheet.
