According to my Delta buds, yes they were. DALPA heavily minimized how much of the gains were at the expense of massive scope give-aways.

I didn't think so because NWALPA put out a pro and con paper. I felt I was able to make an informed decision that way. I voted NO because the con side showed me we were putting too much of the burden on the bottom 25% of the pilot list.

Not just rates. I want the entirety of our contract restored...at a minimum. You need to get beyond thinking of rates as the end all and be all. A lot more than rates were taken from us by bankruptcy judges. Therefore a lot more than rates need to be restored.

See above.

I just posted why I voted no.
