You caught tons of flak from Delta guys for "invading" their forum and criticizing them for capitulating.

The scenario I outlined is exactly what occurred at both Alaska and Delta in the wake of their overwhelming SAV's. Within a few months, their NC's and MEC's sent TA's to their membership that many, including yourself, felt fell short of what they could have achieved.

At both Alaska and Delta, one of the most often heard replies to criticism of their TA's was something like, "What? You don't trust our NC? You don't trust our MEC?" It was the same sort of thing heard here last cycle in response to criticism of our then-TA that is now the garbage we currently work under.

You know as well as I do that FordHarrison is behind the curtain helping to guide all the major airlines through their negotiations. This is the FordHarrison playbook.

"Negative waves," or realistic?
