They're faced with "Scrappy", Donatelli and the rest of the MEC administrators viewing a NO vote by reps as a vote of no confidence against them. Will reps want to deliver that indirect message to the team that are set to take us into Section 6?

I've done CDO's back at NWA. I bid them because they looked so good on paper. With my first two, I got plenty of rest during the day and was unable to sleep during my six hour hotel stay. Last leg home was extremely fatiguing because of no sleep. Next I tried staying active all day so I could sleep during six hour layover. Actual sleep was only about 4 hours and I flew last leg home extremely fatigued due to fighting sleep inertia. Never bid them again.

I'm curious as to how a wrongful death attorney would pursue Delta and the pilot's estate if a CDO pilot caused a fatal car crash on the drive home. Actually, I know exactly what the wrongful death attorneys will do.
