This TA will be proof of the national strategy.

We all have the power to stop this and set a new standard that will be cheered by all other major pilots, and a great majority of regional pilots. It is our NO vote. It looks like fate has placed Delta pilots in the position of sending a message to all parties (especially our own national union). I truly hope we all step up to the challenge.
