This just dawned on me.
If the whole "what are you willing to give up?" question about extensions?
We're Delta pilots, we don't do extensions.
But that said, the way it comes across is that the pot is "THIS" big, and that's it. C2012 the pot will be the same size, maybe 2% higher. So you want higher pay rates, you've got to take it from somewhere else in the pot. That's what we're hearing when that's asked. But I haven't heard it asked since the "I'm willing to give up ALPA" retort came around. 
If that is the offer, it will be a long drawn out section six.
Economy seems to always work counter to what we would like.
