So take a snap shot in one year and project how much you think the company should make and cement pay tables off of a one time guess? So then it's really not about how much the company makes is it? It's about how much we think they'll make. It's an asinine system. It's probably why management teams throughout the industry laugh at pilot groups.

Because SWA is still going to pay their 737 pilots more than our 747 pilots despite the fact that the end of 2010 we're projected to net $1.3-$1.4 billion and they'll net maybe $500-600M.

I ask because why didn't we negotiate a snap back in 05 or even with LOA 19?

More importantly, moving forward, should 747 pilots at Delta be paid more than 737 pilots at SWA? How much more? How much less?

You could have the current system of pay tables as is, but I think you should have snap back provisions.
