Scoop,
So you take a group that agreed to pass something to the membership, and expose the differences of opinions within? I don't think that's smart.

To tag on. This is where UPS pilots get it right IMO. They video the company and the union reps going through the contract with:
Union: "This is what this paragraph means. Do you agree that this is what it means?
Company: "Yes" or "no, this is how we interpret it..."
All on video so there can be no after the fact disagreements.

Company: "Yes" or "no, this is how we interpret it..."

I think the potential timeline of this contract could make it tough, but I'm a big fan of simplified language. I'd like to see us get to a strong contract, with about 40% less language.
We could have a contract that doesn't require an interpreter, a thesaurus, and a magnifying lens. Makes it easier when Scheduling calls, and you can say: it says I will NOT, right here on page 4.

Did you listen to the conference, ACL?
Gary was also marketed as someone who could answer questions. I'm not going to judge him on the basis of 1/2 an answer to a couple of questions, I was just saying I wasn't blown away.
BTW, I'm also an investor. I'm pretty sure Gary owes me a good impression. If Gary isn't here to "wow" me, he better be great at speaking with bankers on my behalf. In the meantime, it would be good form for a former analyst to handle analyst questions smoothly.
Remind me of job description, again? Something Investor Relations something?
Gary is now here to "wow" you with his words. He is here to "wow" prospective banks investors to give DAL unabridged access to capital.

As I have been saying for months and months and months... the reserve system is the elephant in the room that nobody wants to see.....

Again though, he is here to get DAL the access to capital markets that DAL wants.
I too am an investor, and his actions will be a better barometer than his words. My guess is we will see what he is able to do later this year.

Nope, I admit I did not. Can't do that sitting in a courthouse.
