Well since anyone who is in negotiations knows that they look at an industry average, we are looking to all you DAL, UAL, AA, etc folks to raise the bar for us next time. They averaged all the rates and we got parity with the average (and SWA was in the mix). So, we hope that with better times, the legacies and others will negotiate better rates and we can build on that.

But also remember, we have better work rules. Far better! And our health insurance is capped at a maximum 7% annual raise when we all know the cost of health insurance will increase drastically (plus our dental is thrown in for free).

There's a lot more and I'm not going into it. The road shows did.

So, if 11 planes show up next year, what happens to those FO's who are complaining (and for whom we went out on strike)?
