I perceive that DAL management (former management under Gordon Bethune) understood the value of:
1. Getting a deal done sooner than later
2. Keeping their pilots happy
3. keeping a predictiable labor price schedule so that they could price and market their product properly
Delta just bought an oil refinery, fuel prices just became easier to manage.....
