Meaning, most of us would be happy to have their progression, payscales, etc "imposed" on us. I would think the foreign pilots would be the ones concerned about it, if they do indeed have it that much better than us. Aren't they worried about Delta becoming the underpaid, overworked regional airline, existing to use our cheap labor to fill their 777s and 787s?
