Moak has succeeded in fundamentally changing the philosophy of labor.

The DPA is apparently not going to be successful in reversing that change in philosophy before the next contract cycle so we all better hope for Moak's new age methods to bear fruit.
They think outsourcing and codesharing and relaxed scope are good for Delta and therefore good for the pilots. Its a huge gamble. We'll see how it goes.
