Would a 10, 20 or 30% change up or down really mean anything different to us in how we vote?

You overplayed your hand this time tenfold. You are going to get what you gave King. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Selfish, arrogant, self serving and ignorant.
Shame on you and the inner circle.

I've seen this posted several times. The earnings will not be a huge surprise. 1/3 of this quarters numbers are already in and public. Even if Delta makes 10% more than forecast, it's still a big number. All the brokerage houses have forecasts and there's a consensus number out there.

Q1 is the worst quarter. American made $1.4 billion. Q2 is worse than Q3, the best quarter.
American will make IMO $3.1 billion in Q2 and over $10 billion this year.
Nice try to soft peddle the increases. Delta's 2015 Q1 was 36% higher than Q1 2014. Not a bad profit sharing increase if we keep you from selling us a concessionary contract.

Fair enough. Maybe there isn't any smoke coming from the fact that voting will close just ahead of the next quarterly report.
But, when you combine RA's urgency to get this TA put to bed along with the fact that he hopes to do so before the next quarterly report, that certainly smells fishy to me.
What does he know that we don't?? More importantly...
Can that urgency be used as future leverage if the TA gets voted down??
Disclaimer: I trust RA and mgmt just as far as I can throw a 747.
How about you?

From: 737 ATL
I want to defeat this TA. But here's the thing.
The votes we need are in Atlanta. I've been based in Atlanta a long time. The pilots down here are "conservative". In the old sense of the word. If you push for too much too fast you will meet resistance.
Our immediate goal is to reject this TA. Calling for DPA cards and a recall of all the Atlanta reps is a strategic mistake.
I'm just saying.
Let's win this vote. There will be plenty of time after that to debate what, if anything, needs to be done regarding ALPA.
