Lets hope the contract negotiations continue to go well. The company is giving up considerable leverage on this issue. "Dalpa, Your contract proposal is terrible and we are done talking and request mediation. Company, No problem we will see you in mediation however we should mention we are picking up some 717's as a bridge aircraft. We are only going to operate them for 3 or 4 years but will also bring a 1000 more pilots to Delta so we don't have to do any training. Get your arbitration lawyers back on retainer! Let us know when the SLI list is done."
