As an outsider (and my pet project
) I submit that the profit sharing coming up to Delta's AND making it pensionable might be worth as much as 1.5 Billion dollars over the course of the contract. So, even though it may not be industry leading, it is far, far superior to what you had and had a price tag associated with it.
That's why it's called negotiations, not ultimatums.
