I was specifically trying not to shoot the messenger.
The point I was trying to make is: Some constructive engagement is good...clearly. However, prior to the TA, I made the point several times that the folks at the top of DALPA only have experience in concessionary negotiation.
A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. Unfortunately, we ended up with a contract that has many concessions in it. (medicine) It has one payraise and some (barely if at all) COLA. The spoonful of sugar is that it was negotiated quickly.
To continue to defend the sales job and the (questionable) process and further to do this given the backdrop of the earnings call yesterday is IMO a stockholm syndrome or justification that our bankruptcy contract has become the new normal.
I know I'm a w-2 employee at DAL. I don't even want to visit the 4th floor. Do I think I could do many of their jobs...yes.
