That's LONG TERM money that we will never get back. if those 717s that we didn't want go to DCI (and they will), that's LONG TERM flying, hiring, money that we will never get back. You will see that we have real job security built into this TA if you read it or call your Reps to get the explanation.
Can you elaborate further on this? "it's just plain dumb to turn down the offer to have a share in the wealth of the company based on a principle that has failed every other pilot group before us."
btw, per section 1 we are not competing with DCI over what pilot group gets to fly the 717. They will not be going to DCI unless we give them a RAH like exemption and even then not with DAL customers. Unless that's a part of our 2015 scope concessions.
If you had said Alaska then that'd be closer to reality as we are competing with that piloy group over who gets to fly Delta customers on 739s, 738s and the like.
