You’re assuming that Delta is, and forever will be, the rate-setter for the rest of the industry. That’s not always the case.
I’m not suggesting that we ignore rates — at all. I’m simply stating that a singular focus on rates is the wrong approach. There are still quite a few QOL items in our contract that lag our peers, all while our rates are exactly the same.
