ATA hates this option. They want 10 hours per day for a 2 man crew. ATA needs this to pass in order to get this huge enchilada.

This is not compromise, and as such, it is indeed the ALPA approach. Give up the huge item (10 hours per day for 2 man crew), get other little meaningless items, then brag about your huge success. Rank and file says...What the ****? Who endorsed this!

Not a homerun...just holding firm to what this deal was supposed to be in the first place. REDUCING FATIGUE! You don't do that by increasing a pilot's working hours. Holding firm is something ALPA has long since lost track of.
