Once you manage to show an independent union that has successfully recouped their BK losses, then maybe you'll have a case. Until then, your just posting a wish list.
Perfect illustration of the difference in thinking. DALPA's (and your) argument demonstrates that you do not believe restoration is achievable. Many Delta pilots do not subscribe to that theory and are not willing to give up on the value of the rest of our careers. Many of us would rather at least try than surrender.

That "company" has been under completely different management ever since then. The current "management" has completely changed their philosophy as to the value of this profession, and they've completely changed their approach to improving its current value. There is no objective or mission statement that would indicate a desire to achieve a result anything like C2K. Before 2004, ALPA was analogous to "Coca Cola." After 2004, ALPA is analogous to "New Coke." Except, instead of recognizing that consumers didn't like "New Coke" and that it's a major disaster, they are committed to keeping it no matter what.
