The problem that you don't seem to understand Mr. K (not replacing as many airplanes as leave the property and not replacing as many retiring pilots as leave the property....or even admitting that could be what's happening or going to happen) causes doubt among those here about your motivation on this board and who you represent (you know, that whole managing expectations thing). The overwhelming evidence in word and deed from management points that direction. Some are trying to raise the alert flag and what that means to Delta pilots. Some (like you) get out the party hats no matter what Delta seems to be doing. Calling everything Delta does a victory (for them and their pilots) makes you lose credibility. That's what others are saying about you here. You just aren't able to comprehend it.

DPA didn't speak a word in this video. They let management speak for themselves. How you turn that into "spin" as if to justify your own nonstop spin machine is a bit of a mystery really.
