And please, let's not forget what was going on at the time which encouraged a whole mess of the pilot group to push for a concessionary JCBA. "We'll get em next time!"
The FNG's might be interested in how we got here, even though many of the older guys are not.

As for snarkiness, how do you classify your oft-used phrase 'marvin mainliner'?

Marvin is not my phrase, just one I learned about in 1999. If the shoe fits then I'll use it.

Delta's last contract had retro, as did Continental's Contract '97...the second to last one.
