Unfortunately for us those dollars don't belong to us, as Delta is a publicly traded company with investors and share holders much more "entitled" to that money than a labor group covered by the RLA. We are at the service of the department of transportation and department of commerce at prevailing market wages. End of story.

In addition the con arguments towards the TA, are in fact, disingenuous in terms of the greater "collective" good of the pilot group. Rather than listen to ALPA you've mocked them, made false statements against them, ridiculed them, and effectively ignored their well reasoned logic in your bizarre and twisted logic about loopholes and threats from the CPO with regard to your sick time.

Perhaps the old adage, do unto others as you'd have others do unto you applies her - you're getting what you asked for.

And don't be so sensitive. We're all men here. Don't cry on your keyboard. It's ok.
