Supposedly UAL taught its crews that it should mention prior to parking that they're early.
I really see that when you come into ATL 1 hour early and you won't get into the gate for 55 minutes so to a passenger we're 55 minutes late - unless you repeat we're way early, all gates occupied, for the sake of your luggage it's best when we don't swap gates, we're in the gate 5 minutes early.
I had an old man getting off a plane unload his frustrations on me for being late. We seriously, no lie, 15 minutes early and we never stopped moving from landing to the gate. It just took 20 minutes to deplane but I don't think he was talking about that, to him, we were late and he needed to have it out with the pilot.

In that case...

Usually it's W, W, W, W, W, P, P, [RES PILOT], W, W, W, W, P, Y
As far as the big picture?

remember a few months ago how skywest's affiliate was claiming they had enough money to 'buy Delta', question, if they have enough money to buy say Alaska and made a new airline called Shuttle America, would that not be against our scope?

This is not directed at you, but at the thrust of this discussion. If you are upgrading to a new airplane and are having some problems, would you seek advice from a pilot or a lawyer? If you are seeking a complex answer to a complex legal problem would you seek advice from a pilot or a lawyer?
The big uproar of the settlement to the 76 seat grievance resulted from ALPA initially filing a grievance. If the lawyers thought we had a chance in hell to win this case it would be filed. Pilots are smart people and they know lots of stuff, but a man's got to know his limitations. (name the Clint Eastwood movie)

Yes, and we all know doctors and lawyers can be hazardous in airplanes, and your point is well taken, however lawyers are also notoriously cautious. We could easily be too timid, or not pursue something where it was the right thing to do because of a lawyers advice of the possibility that it might not go our way. The company and their lawyers are more aggressive and capitalize on our willingness to settle rather than risk any possibility of defeat.
Under that system all they have to keep doing is violating the contract and we'll meet them half way as long as they stop the violation and they in fact force de facto concessions out of us while we claim it as a win because we averted risk.
