If JUST the rumored rate are real, and IF they surpass AMR only in 2017, not on the date of signing, Dalpa and ALPA have failed at the one thing they proudly proclaim expertise in.
Pattern bargaining.
If..... we sold back PS to achieve such glorious rates.
If..... we have scope concessions
If..... we have third party verification.
If..... we have premium trips unbid-able do to hold backs from LCA
If..... We have CDOs or SDPs
In addition to those glorious rates
Then it's fourth and about twenty seven. Punt.
Also time for a new QB.
