I'm baiting you to support your statement, not to fight. If you can show me where it is, I will concede. Don't go and make a statement like you did without backing.

The C2K baseline isn't in jeopardy in 2015 because the advancements lost in Ch11 were willingly surrendered yesterday. I hate it, but I'm guessing that's the way a reasonable mediator would see it.

I think this a common misconception...a mediator could not care less where we were at C2K (or '96, or anywhere else), the only benchmark a mediator would consider relevant would be current industry standard.

You nailed it, Boomer! Absolutely spot on.

Actually he missed by a mile.

Spot on... absolutely correct. And industry standard cannot be cherry picked. It is UAL/AMR/USAir/SWA and UPS/FedEx. Standard is average. C2K is irrelevant. And what's more.. the "moral" high ground he was talking about is TOTALLY irrelevant.

You know who I am, and I know who you are. I'll bet you 50 dollars you can't quote me chapter and verse anywhere in the TA to support your statement on a guarantee of growth. You on? :)

There is no guarantee of growth, just a trigger to promote it.

It reads IF DAL adds a 717 or 319 they can add X 76 seat aircraft on a ratio of those snb's to 76 seat aircraft.

DALPA says that the end state ratios will result in about 40 aircraft of growth.

You and I both know and understand that because we've "done our homework" and read the thing.

I'm seeing if t can swallow his pride and admit that him stating over and over that it guarantees growth is a either just a mistatement or downright misleading other people intentionally.

What's your definition of massive growth and how much does DCI need to shrink?

Denny

DCI becomes DELTA.

Even DALPA saying the end 1.56 ratio will result in 40 aircraft of growth is saying the 717s are not all growth.

The one thing we forgot to put in the contract was the requirement for growth before 76 seaters. We are left hoping that happens but the ratio doesn't require it. You can have 0 mainline growth and get away with the 1.56 ratio with DCI 450/325. What we've done is guaranteed us a percentage of the flying but gave them the option to shrink consolidated ASMs (like dropping DCI to 450 airframes) without transferring flying to us along the way.

The key is once you his DCI 450/325 and say we do start to grow then the growth will eventually come to us. But it doesn't have to right away, they could probably squeeze a lot more BH per DCI aircraft than they have right now but eventually you hit a point that's infeasible. But I'll bet there is room to grow in BH average per airframe for them.
