Yea I want the most $$ I can get also. The point of my idea is get the $ in our pockets now, with real inflationary increases, but do it under shorter duration contracts. If the company's business plan rocks our world, then great, let's talk again in two years and not sit back and watch Delta make record profits for years while they wait for an industry downturn to renegotiate.
I have watched this fast paced negotiations and I think I like it. Let's say there is an industry downturn, it would allow us to GULP, give concessions for short terms, not the POS we've been working under for years; when the industry or just Delta thrives, so do we.
Keep an open mind folks. I'm a NO vote right now but if given certain improvements with modest gains and shorter durations, I could go yes.
Again, food for thought.
