Why do I think this posturing is all part of the overall plan? All this doom and gloom from RA and management. All the request to help, sign, revolt. All done to fall unto deaf ears. After all capitalism will prevail, even if it goes to the lowest bidder.

Me thinks, RA is more powerful and connected than the other 69,999 employees at Delta. I think with his connections, political allies, deal makings, schmoozing/negotiating etc, he can make a deal to keep Delta at the top or keep airlines like NAI OUT! I dont buy it for one minute, that all this will change because we, the employees, are going to complain. RA and his gang need to step it up. That is if they truly think this invasion is a threat.

Me thinks, this is all part of the future plan. Its coming and there is nothing we can do about it. RA,his management team and other distinguished airline brass are the solution to our problems, unless their future plans do not include us.

Agreed. RA could single handedly crush those NAI scum and cause their liquidation with extreme ease. Add in UAL, AA and even SW to the mix, plus the 2.5 cargo giants we have, and we can capacity dump/price ravage any dirt bag operator like this and there's nothing they can do about it. But like you said its not up to us as long as our executives focus only on getting that extra tenth of a percent YoY RASM growth, which is unsustainable anyway. They are under our thumb and we can crush them at our leisure.

So when will we?
