interesting post check.

save a penny spend a dollar or spend a penny and save a dollar... more or less on the last one. I've always been fascinated by management groups that bring out the stick prior to a contract and start poking guys in the eye when if you really want to seperate a group you should give in here and there and say we're here for you guys!

what i mean is if DAL wants to fix some stuff and start early, that's strategic and smart on their part.

among many things one thing we can hope, for pr and group cohesiveness reasons, will happen is a smooth contract with AAI and SWA and more pay raises for those "Valujet" DC9s with big engines.
