That would put us, as in Delta, in the cat bird seat.

The question is, will we as a pilot group have the ability to take an offer quickly, realizing it's good but not "full restoration" in order to position our company for greater gains in the future? This goes along with what ACL has been talking about, incremental gains. Or will this group vote down a good contract with the attitude that there must be more on the table?
That's the question of the decade - How good is good enough? I would love to get a contract in place, on time, with good improvements (as was said earlier - either the West Coast Offense or singles and doubles analogy) and not swing for the fences).

What is good enough for everyone?
