They will massage the he$$ out of the numbers to make it appear that they were successful. ALPA magic! And throw in a few RJs to boot! Hey..we had to give up something.

Assume you are right. What's a 744/777A make in Jan 2015?

Delta management really does not want to get caught up in a similar situation:

I don't care what carl makes, he is the elite of our group. I care what the masses make. I know I would make less than a SW FO with 4+8+3+3 on day one, much less three to four years from now and I am a 12 year FO. Adding RJs is just adding insult to injury. None of us know for sure till we see the TA, however I do think it is what we will see tomorrow or Tuesday if the reps don't show some backbone.

He's obviously setting us up...the TA probably has something marginally higher than 4/8/3/3.

Then we feel lucky and grateful for something ever so slightly higher...and forget about all of the QOL items DALPA has already admitted they've conceded (along with scope).

I just can't understand why DALPA would concede anything at this point.

Once again, one of DALPA's finest doing the company's heavy lifting.
