The entire statement was discussing all the good things the new pilot contract would bring to Delta Air Lines. Ed and Richard went on to say that the new pilot contract would be cost neutral, and in fact, the additional cost savings would allow Delta to FUND other employee initiatives within OTHER employee groups at Delta.

When these comments came to light, our DTW LEC put them out in a letter to us along with the MEC administration's extreme displeasure at management for making public statements like that. What really made O'Malley mad is that Richard and Ed made those comments before the vote was taken.

So that's the context tsquare. Still want to keep changing the subject and making a fool of yourself?
