I too will be floored to make it to April without an offer that is just good enough to send to memrat.
I agree that we need to improve work rules greatly, things could be much better, but the more complex a deal becomes the less likely it is worth it (for the company).
One thing I've been pondering is a signing bonus for new hires that gives a $40k deposit into the 401k but it doesn't vest until the start of 6 year pay(so you could invest it as you wanted but couldn't pull it out)...... It would help DAL recruit the cream of the crop but you couldn't "take the money and run", after 5 full years you probably aren't going to change carriers. Just a thought.
