Herk,

A lot of what you say is good stuff, but the idea that Delta went bankrupt because the pilots had a "burn the house down" attitude is incorrect. Our former management dithered while the place fell apart, sold fuel hedging contracts in order to show cash on hand at the end of the year, and flew long haul jets domestically. Our revenues were well below industry average at the time. This is why Delta went bankrupt. Blaming the pilots for management inadequacies doesn't fly.
