And yet, I keep reading again and again by Bill Lumberg and (I'm surprised) Johnso that these are far-fetched, "unlikely", or a mis-reading. Sorry, I absolutely disagree, and I can read a contract equally as well as you if not better. Delta is LIKELY to take it right to whatever line is allowed, and LIKELY to maximize what they've already shown they want, 70+ seaters, and LIKELY to park the 50seat as they've already said they desire and have been doing. They are LIKELY to use the work-rule changes they've asked for, and the ALV increase, and the reserve +15. You don't bargain for something that's not valuable to you, and that is what they bargained for. Come on Bill and Johnso, stop being so blindly optimistic and looking through naively rose-colored glasses! Analyze the changes from a worst-case scenario, not some hopeful "I just can't imagine the company doing THAT" mentality.

Vote No. Don't give up work rules and scope that will never come back. Heck I probably have 3-4years flying left before I pull the plug, and I wouldn't vote yes for this TA even with 40% pay increase. Don't be the guys that dropped the baton...
So why don't you think it LIKELY that the company will exchange all the 70s... 102 of them.. for 76s? I certainly do. Who has on rose colored glasses again?
