They've SHOWN you nothing. They've only TOLD you and our "union" what they want us to know. Showing us their hand would involve a complete opening of the books and the recordings of the strategic planning meetings at the board of director level. I know you know that hasn't happened, therefore we've been shown nothing.
Clamp's poker analogy is spot on. If you've ever played a hand for really big money, you know exactly the pressure he's talking about. It will either force you to crack under it, or take educated risks. It appears to me that far too many Delta pilots are cracking under the negligible pressure of a bird in the hand before Section 6 even begins.
