I firmly believe 50% of the pilots don't understand so when it comes to comparisons some only look at the big number 7B vs 8B...therefore AA must be better. Not necessarily true if it is incremental gains. I one contract (UAL for example) is woefully inferior on QOL they might have to make 9B "contract" just to get to where Delta/AA are overall
Look I’ll own it. The mistake could’ve easily been avoided if I bothered to do the 8B/15k math. I just took what I heard at face value. That really doesn’t change that our PS plan could be worth very little in the immediate future compared to Delta. Therefore the idea that we assign some great value to it, like a billion over 4 years doesn’t hold up.
