Apparently DALPA does know, but according to Councils 1, 20 and 54, the NC chose to ignore it.

My guess had they stuck closer to the survey, we wouldn't be having this argument.

Show your math on this one.

Pretty simple. Try to keep those. If this is actually a cost neutral T/A with a projected $2B DAL profit, $83/barrel oil, and a 717 deal from which DAL, Boeing & SWA won't readily walk away I think there is plenty of room for improvement.

Page 1-6 in the TA compared to NOT having that protection. You have to read it for yourself. I am not gonna spoon feed it to you.

Isn't that what I was told about how long the process would take when we started the year?

OK.. and at what point do you say.. that's enough, we have extracted all we can? Is that in the used car salesman's guide to negotiating? And it is not a cost neutral TA, anybody with half a brain would recognize that.

Apparently, the rest of the councils they did a pretty good job.

Full or empty, your choice. I choose full.

Current Book:

Permitted 70 seaters 102
Permitted 76 seaters 153

Total 255 cap, no matter what. Even if they convert all the 70 seaters to 76, they get a max of 255.

TA:

Permitted 70 seaters 102
Permitted 76 seaters 223

Total 325. No flex down...they are able to keep them no matter what happens to the mainline fleet.

325 > 255. Two whole Compasses.

To look at it from another view point, you're guessing if we turn it down we won't get something better in a timely fashion?

Imagine if the NC would have come back with half of what they got. You can bet we'd still hear those who would support it saying, "If we don't accept it we don't know how long it will take to get another agreement, and it probably won't be worth it."

I am just hoping that United/Continental come out with a TA before our vote closes so our guys can just be plain embarrassed and VOTE NO. At least their union isn't serving up a half assed TA and trying to shove it down their throats.

Most likely, UCAL mgmt will stall until the results from our TA are known. There is a reason Smisek mentioned our scope allowances in a letter to the employees.
