I’ll say subjectively dumb, or at least relatively, considering your well-informed and reasoned approach to pretty much everything else is in direct opposition to your championing of immediate adoption of Delta’s TA as culmination of this negotiating cycle. You in fact attempted to start a poll to presumably confirm your belief that it should be our template as well. Later, you repeatedly misrepresented DALs profit sharing formula (since corrected and apologized, noted) and offered opinion that somehow some vociferous postings of contract desires had you convinced we would drag our negotiations out so long we’d all lose north of $3k/month if we did not immediately approve Delta’s “template” ourselves. While certainly back of envelope math will always support there is a time value of money, and we have TWICE had to take egregious offers off the table, there may also be merit in getting our own ask right — informed by DALs market analysis — before trying to immediately close a deal before some uncertain future downturn. I just don’t understand what your motivation is in so often beating that drum. Saving us from ourselves? I’ll admit you seem to have gotten some information from some source that has allayed your worst fears, so maybe all moot. Regardless, I seriously hold your opinion on all else as well developed and researched, and this just strikes me as incongruent with your typical approach. Except on reserve rules, which is also anachronistic, but otherwise….
