Taking the Delta agreement as is would only make sense if everything in it is better than our current book. My understanding is that under their proposal we’d give up first class deadheading and current reassignment protections as just a couple of examples. Any deal that they get is the foundation that we build on. We shouldn’t give up any current rules or protections, only improve them. If their proposal passes ratification we will have the time to analyze it and put in real world examples across the seniority spectrum and see how the math works out. We need to do this right, not fast.
