Then, we do not distribute awards in a way I consider fair. It has long been my sense that #1 on the list did not lose a damn thing, but usually gets paid the most. On the other hand #10,000 probably lost a lot and gets compensated the least. The new cure language, a staffing cure, has been something we scope nerds have talked about for at least 20 years. Very cool to see it happen and for Delta's Negotiators to get it done!
As a knuckle-dragging scope ignoramus, I just wonder what’s to stop the company from violating scope with the intent to cure themselves up to a desired widebody end state? If they’re 100 WB pilots short of where they want to be in 12 months, doesn’t the defined cure give them the prescription for an easy way to get there, with all the associated benefits of some temporary surge outsourcing?
