With the next round of negotiations coming up, I think it's imperative for us to remember how much this gig has changed over the last 15 years, and how much we lost compared to the other employee groups. We are the only ones who had our careers transformed into jobs. IMO, through our terminated/frozen pensions, downgrades, furloughs, work rule changes, and degraded benefits, we have given more than our fair share. (Or, was it taken from us? :roll eyes: )

I think if Delta needs more -- which I don't think they do -- they should look elsewhere first.
