I'm game and I'll pay $100 to the Delta Pilot Charitable Fund IF any PWA or JPWA put up for member ratification by DALPA does not include any one of the following:

• An increase of DCI/outsourced seating beyond 76 seats per jet, or
• An increase in the size of the 71+ seat fleet to 226 or more jets,
• An increase in the size of the 51-70 seat fleet to 103 or more jets, or
• An increase in the total 51+ seat fleet to 326 or more jets.

And no, an exchange of any of the current PWA limits for fewer 50 seaters is not a win. We now know from the earnings calls how much of a financial and customer service albatross those things are now so imho they can just fade without a swap. A swap is not a win.

So to recap, I'll HAPPILY pay $100 if not any one of those four points is put up for memrat. And if any one of those happens to be in there- I'll pay anyways since it's a good charity. But you have to give to the DPCF and admit why.
