IMHO we need a steady hand on the tiller, whoever that is.

Behind he scenes the work of the Delta pilots is being done by those who tirelessly work at numerous issues exemplified by scheduling, safety, compliance and planning. The Company seems to have backed away from "constructive engagement." We need a strong unifying leader who is the public face of the Delta pilots, while privately cultivating the support structure and ensuring those in the batters box are ready to step up to the plate.

I trust my Reps in this matter and will support their decision. They have a lot better information on this sort of thing than those of us in the bleachers. There are a couple of men I had hoped might be candidates who have not yet indicated an interest in running.
