That's why it's called negotiations, not ultimatums.
Bingo. If market forces alone would get us parity with the current leaders we would’ve had delta profit sharing for years. I’m more concerned about where our contract was to where it is now vs whether we lapped delta or not. If market forces alone would get an airline to parity with another why did AA get such a turd?
