Wow, do you have a short memory! The way out for the company is the same as it has always been. Come to the union with a truth-based case, and we pilots will amend our contract. We don't say: "A contract is a contract"...only management uses that line.

Such a great example of how management doesn't even have to fight very hard with guys like this in our union. We should be asking for C2K restoration by using the SWAPA contract and company as an example of pattern bargaining. We make more profit than SWA...but if the pilots of Delta even think about asking for SWA pay and QOL, we're "bleeding the company dry." Amazing.

It was no such thing. It was an attempt by pilots who cared about their company, and hoped to keep it out of bankruptcy. Fortunately, I believe your views are in the minority.
