CIRCLE: YES or NO

I'm surprised you actually put a number out there that you'd vote yes for. My guess is that there is no scenario or number that you would ever vote "yes" for. It's because your vote is influenced by emotion rather than using logic and being rational.
You and a lot of other angry guys here are like scorned wives going through a divorce. There is no amount of money that would make them happy. They just want their husband to suffer as they have.
That's why so many guys were angry about the current contract. Yes, we got some gains back, but Delta didn't suffer like you wanted them to. They are still making money and didn't hurt like you did over the last 14 years. The problem using your logic is that if Delta hurts financially like you want them to, then we all end up hurting again, i.e., paycuts, shrinkage, furloughs, etc...
It's just business. Our emotions shouldn't be a factor. My advice to you Purple is to get some therapy.
