I know what I am positing, and I am saying that restoration of C2K rates on day one of a PWA is a lot of money. I posted the figures above because there seems to be some disparity between what Carl wants as restoration and what DAL88 wants as restoration. Carl's figures are based upon the old NWA rates, not the DAL C2K rates. They are not adjusted for inflation, but they are in the 35% range. That is a heck of a lot different than a 71% bump.

Everyone would like to see a bump like that. We are also saying that with each action their is an equal an opposite reaction. Choose the door you want, but be educated before you do. That is all.

After Carl posted a figure I realized that we have been going back and forth over what we see "Restoration" as. It is a different figured completely. Carl sounds down right pragmatic to me

In reality there is a poll going on though tomorrow and if you are called answer the questions honestly. Your union needs to know what direction, the pilots want to take.

My personal guess is that it will have to be near Carl's figure for guys to sign off on it. Just a guess, based upon all of the talks I have been having with everyone I have flown with.

I have not had one guy tell me they would do vote for a 15% bump. Might not be the majority but it is what the Captain's and other FO's are telling me.
