It is. It’s almost a given that the 737 max is going to pay 321neo rates at Delta. For some reason, United wrapped the max pay in with the next gen pay. You guys did a pretty poor job of negotiations. The one thing you did do right is take advantage of Delta’s snap-up. Not to be outdone, American was just as bad.
