Is scope for sale? Absolutely.
I'd entertain the idea... for $10,000,000 upfront per pilot and a no furlough clause.
It's a simple $100B buyout of the pilots.
FTB,
THe Captain that told me that was very nice. I have a feeling human nature makes us TIMID for negotiating or wanting more because of the illusion of losing EVERYTHING.
THis negative Psychological effect needs to be broken by positive leadership. We pilots have gone thru so much loss and anguish that we are succumbing to scare tactics and illusions that the past will reappear.
I think FEAR is the main motive. I think ALPA needs to know and promote that we are worth MUCH MORE than mgt/koolaidpilots think we are.
GODSPEED on our quest (hopefully a diplomatic one) to regain what is rightfully ours. We will be the best airline out there no matter what. Our professionalism as pilots will give Delta an edge! I hope our UNION believes in our worth and educates the few that think we are not worth what we are in demand for.
