Okay, how about we have the Delta list and fence it for 10 years? You get the protection you wanted. I'm not trying to take anything from you, please don't try to take anything from me.

A 5 year fence does protect your movement in the near term. My point with the chart was your retirements, based on age 65, are not that much different than ours. If there is some way for you to get credit for the 204 more earlier and us to get it 3years later, I'm all for it. But the argument that you have so many more pilots retiring, I recall someone saying 1000's,before we do is falling on deaf ears over on this side because the numbers just don't support it. It seems to me that you want your cake (DOH and your retirements) and to eat it too (our retirements later).

This is just going to go back and forth and is futile on both sides. The lawyers are gonna decide this one. But it is fun to go back and forth!!!


I truly do look forward to flying with you all and I got the first beer!!! Gotta go pick the kid up from football practice, be back later.
