Where you view the bar really depends on which point in history you choose it to have been set, and fair enough if you think this deal fell short of your bar. All of that being said, it's in poor taste to come wagging your finger at another pilot group for setting a new industry standard below your liking when yours has failed time and time again to raise it at all. I'm rooting for SWAPA to come out with a deal so great that everyone at DALPA regrets not including you in our "me too" clause.
