Actually, what Buzz said was:
Shiz, I agree completely. Its an apples vs. oranges argument. The fDAL guys will vote for full restoration of C2K plus inflation with the DC in lieu of moving the scope. Because? They want their contract back. The fNWA guys have a new contract and didn't lose that pay nor the retirement/DC. I'm not endorsing either position. But I can see a battle on this. Nobody wants the scope to remain trending as it has. Everybody on the south side wants to regain lost pay and benefits yet regain some scope. The northies want to regain scope. Should be interesting.
He is stating that fNWA didn't lose our prebankruptcy payrates or our pension. We did in fact take a 40+% paycut and froze the pension.
