I'm going to try this one more time, and then I'm out because you will have shown you're just too stubborn to admit that you made an inartful and wrong post:

The TWA acceptance (like AirTran acceptance of their SLI) and all the others is what ALL contract talks are about. They all feel like a gun is pointed at you. That's by design. The company sees to that. My point to you is that when you post what you've posted, you're yet another union pilot that is doing the work of management. Your statements had the effect of trying to show Delta pilots that they are in a no-win situation and will probably have "no choice" but to vote FOR a contract with scope concessions in it.

You and I have no idea what management's true plans are. No line pilot really does...even if you've signed an NDA and think you're being told "inside stuff" by senior management. Therefore, voting because of a perceived threat of a management plan that may or may not even be a real management plan is foolish. It simply shows management that you're another pilot group completely movable by fear. You don't help the effort of Delta pilots by stoking that fear.

Got it?
