Again, don't you think they have played all the "Vote No/Send it back scenarios" many times???
The company comes to us early...wanting something really bad....which made them come to us early....and this is the best offer...and if we don't roll on it bad things will happen...no growth, no raise, DAL stuck with the 50 seat albatross of their own making. Will they just maintain status quo for the next 3 years?
For all you PMNW guys (did the PMDL guys get the same scenario), remember when NWA came to us prior to BK and said we needed to sign on to the 10% pay reduction to keep us out of BK or disaster would befall us all. And ALPA said we needed to "help" to company to keep us out of BK or disaster would befall us all. BK happened and the court started the cuts from a 10% lower threshold.
