Depends on the economics.

The union has only two choices, Dubinski said--"concessions to an outsider or investment in the airline by the employees. There is no good third choice."
Now when he said that, wasn't the United MEC Chairs making back room deals to award an ALPA Staff Attorney $375,000 in 1989 and two million in 1994?
The results were disastrous. The Board brought in Glenn Tilton.

Look 8 minutes in. Then go to the 10 minute mark.

Unlike United, we should be well positioned for C2015.
The problem will be the next next Gen small jets and renewal of the MD88 fleet.
The previous MEC Chairman (and most Reps) acceptance of Delta pilots being just another seat at the table will complicate negotiations. We could get whipsawed. We can fix that. I will lobby our incoming MEC Chair (whoever that will be) and continue working on my Reps.
