2. The Republic proposal was DOH with a 5 year fence.
3. The NWA proposal was a ratio with a 5 year fence.
4. Mr Roberts decided on DOH with a 20 year fence.
I can't prove this beyond all doubt, but I think Roberts used the look ahead ability to institute a 20 year fence that neither side asked for. Since Lane couldn't prove this either, he was correct in not saying so.

Again, Carl, "looking ahead" in this manner is a far, far cry from the actual construction of a list based entirely on future attrition that benefits one pilot group only. (Please see my post #20, I assume you agree with the conclusions I draw?) BTW, why do you suppose ALPA got rid of any mention of DOH in their merger policy? That would be an interesting discussion.....and might shead some light on our current "predicament".
