If the 50 seat possibilities were on the United side you wouldn't be smiling so much over there would you?

Bottom line is that anything that happens in the Delta system is also your problem, that much is 100% certain. I understand the shooting for the moon concept and applaud you guy's for being that way as I think it will push the unions to go after good things for us while still remaining reasonable in the business aspect. If you're looking to get paid 120 hrs while working 30 then you REALLY need to work on your expectations. I don't mind working for my money but certainly want things in the contract to protect the pilot group from abuse.

P.S. Pardon me from not reading red's post before posting as my view's reflect some of the same posted in his reply.
