3) If you can't understand why this is a bad precedent going forward, I have some oceanfront property to sell you.
4) Your actions will have adverse consequences on your career.
and
5) The pilots who do get hired at Delta (if any do) will have to overcome the black cloud over their heads as a result of their choices.
1) Fair point. However, the game changes when they take possession of another airline and make demands on said airline's pilot wages with the threat of liquidation.
2) That is complete BS!!! And it makes no sense whatsoever as there is nothing to be gained by doing so.
3) Be that as it may, the sky isn't falling. Get better language in your own CBA if you're that concerned.
4) Some food for thought; every Pinnacle pilot's career doesn't include Delta. Consider that before you start spouting off about consequences.
And...
5) If by black cloud, you mean you stewing in your left seat because an ex Pinnacle pilot is sitting next to you, fine. Pout until your heart's content. Just dont get into a "heated argument" about it and fly past your destination airport or anything.
