That is NOT entitlement, that's just good business for all of us. We cannot change the past and should only use it as a backstop for current and future failures.
Be a politician if you want. I'll resonate on the flight deck (or be a gentleman change the subject ... everyones favorite topic is themselves ... they'll always go to that topic if you lead them there).
Bigbusdriver, as quoted "we don't want those guys on our list" is why Delta has the outsourcing problem we have. Simply put, he is wrong and should be told he is wrong, early, often, consistently and for ever more.
