A cost neutral contract and breathing new life into the failed RJ experiment is simply defined as having kept the promise of not sacrificing quality for expediency. The reason we're so concerned about our union rolling over on the NRT slots is because trust in you is just not there.
The words in your communique are filled with holes and escape hatches that will allow you to cave in on the NRT slots and still claim the LOA is an improvement for Delta pilots. I'm 99.9% certain our union is setting us up for less NRT flying while management is allowed to continue outsourcing our jobs by operating the Pacific Joint Venture. I would be thrilled if you guys prove me wrong.

Hey Carl,
I know Dave. I trust him. He will do his best. He works for us and knows it. With him backing the council 44 propaganda I feel quite comfortable.
I just built a new beer fridge enclosure and stereo cabinet. Music, beer, hot tub babes and a bonfire. Come on down and I'll invite Dave over and we can talk shop and drink apple pie moonshine. You can't talk about the 747 though. I will always have jetvy or big shiny jet syndrome for the whale. TSquare will supply the babes.
