The point should be, we have oodles of leverage just as we’re about to start contract negotiations.

You're wrong about the figure. You'll learn about it soon enough.

Just wanna be clear here, you're saying the amount is way less than 100m correct?

Our awareness of the operational problems is more than the investor community. They were not overly concerned because the numbers were in line and even a little better than the whisper. The other thing was no media questions (they never entered the que for questioning) which I have never seen before, so no public interest in the operational problems. We are making more of this than anyone else. The whole call was a little off to me.

i’d be delighted to have you show that i’m wrong, since it would prove to be significant leverage.

but you’ll instead play your silly “i’m super connected and know things you don’t know” game. color me unconvinced.

Are you saying the 23M7 payouts are undefeated 100m or not?

undefeated?

i’m saying that i doubt the $100m number and think it’s less, yes. i also am willing to bet you won’t post any reasoned analysis or hard data to refute that.

I'll take the bait.

In no single month did 23M7 cause more than $100m in "extra" pilot pay versus if 23M7 had not been used and trips were covered by following the coverage ladder (i.e. not using 23M7.)

I'll double down by prophesizing that you, or someone (he whom should not be named) will spin the result in a way that doesn't fit these parameters.

It sort of feels like being in Michael Burry’s office during The Big Short, knowing we are in a position to make it rain, and wondering how nobody on the outside sees it. Except — we’ve been talking about it on a public forum for 6+ months, which makes it even more interesting. I would love to be a fly on the wall in ATL…

Interesting point, thanks for adding that. Always appreciate your intel on the investor class and 10K insights.

I'm not spinning anything. They know how much the recent shenanigans have cost them. It's a significant amount in totality (adding up the months of use it will be well over 100m cost). <---- That's what I've been saying. If that's not clear enough I blame your teachers for your reading comprehension deficiencies.
