DAL also gave equity to the pilots BEFORE it hit the open market. That obviously did not happen here, either. SO, what was DAL's motivation to sign a JCBA and give pilots equity?? They saw value in having the pilots on board with the merger and were willing to pay for it. This management did/does not see value in having ALPA onboard. It's that simple.

I hope somebody turned the APU off before the next morning from my last go-dark Den termination flight. It had been on since TPA.
I thought that in the DAL/NW merger they didn't have a "JCBA" but rather the DAL MEC worked out a side-deal LOA with Mgmt that basically forced the NWA guys to the table. And didn't the DAL guys get more "equity" in the deal than the NWA guys?
