Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I don't care what you support. I care about the pilots of Delta Air Lines. I have no "conflict of interest", if it is helpful to Delta Air Lines Pilots then that is all that matters.
The reduction of AS codeshare limits and JV protection are often left out of this discussion and they are an integral part of Section 1 also, but since you are not a stakeholder in the PWA then your concerns have no weight.
