THE OTHERS/APC Crowd: I doubt that. They could make changes and get it back to us for another vote fairly quickly. We have time. Time is on our side.

DARMA: You Idiots/Liars/Punks/New Hires/Carl, no way, RA would lose all credibility in that case and we'd know from now on vote down the first offer knowing the second will be better. No way. They can't afford that, credibility is too important. This is a one shot deal. Take it to bed or lose it forever.

...

But what about saying we may hire this year if you vote this in? Or taken for face value, you vote this in and we'll hire! What about that credibility next time around?

Oh well.

“In this very room in 2008, Richard Anderson, Delta’s CEO, said about the future of the Memphis hub, it will be additional. It will be more business for Memphis, not less.

“I expressed concern to him about reduced service or even outright elimination of the hub and asked him about continuation the Memphis-Amsterdam international flight of which we had great pride. At that hearing, Mr. Anderson in this room testified that there would be no hub closures, and he said the merger would maintain international flights to Amsterdam.

“He went further to say we could expect more international flights from Memphis, and suggested that Memphis to Paris would happen. And he said there would be more flights, this will enhance the status of traffic and service at the Memphis International Airport. He said it would add, not take away from Memphis International Airport.

“He said he knew Memphis from when he was at Northwest, and he loved the ribs, he loved the city, he knew how great the airport was, how well managed it was, how the time on the tarmac and taking off was less, that they saved oil and it was the best connections they could possibly have.
“Those facts were true. His response was not.

Except one's a widebody the other a narrowbody. Both are awesome. I'd be happy on either. The ride times would be vastly different tho.
