As always, your numbers are significantly off. I'm not sure why you feel the need to come on here and blast away with incorrect data, but I highly suspect a narcissistic obsession to try and "prove" you were right, or connected, or the self-annoited voice of reason. Very "airline piloty" of you. Out of all of this, 25% DC and 260 hours (also incorrect) is what you are down to? Oh sorry, there's the 3 billion plus and 150 million (also wrong) one time payment. Never mind a completely egoistic flight ops leadership (replaced midstream) who didn't realize that despite full retro in C2015, they weren't supposed to stall negotiations. Never mind the single most (real or manufactured) devastating economic event ever, never mind the absence of concessionary bargaining during said time, never mind the usual complete lack of any support within the industry for pattern bargaining, never mind the simultaneous parallel global scope agreement (shoutout to the former ATL Chairman for forcing the hand) which benefits the Company exactly "zero" but finally secures wide body job protections with teeth without having to go through a very biased RLA grievance process. Never mind the sheer number of items (many of which are undoing the concessions of the past) achieved in this contract, and never mind having to navigate all of this this with a social media obsessed MEC (and one MEC chairman) - some of whom were bound and determined to scorch earth in any way possible to ensure a complete failure of anything and everything.

In the meantime, my thanks go out to the office staff, committee SMEs, NC and the eventual MEC Administration, who navigated all of this brilliantly and brought forth the single most lucrative airline contract ever - while the airline went through the gamut of historically profitable to historic losses to relatively profitable. It ain't perfect, and it ain't the opener (congrats sailingfun for your marvelous grasp of the obvious and inevitable) but it's really damn good.
