I finished by stating I advocated taking the demanded 5% paycut and having the union use it to pay the furloughed pilots.
I got to have a personal chat with the CEO. I had also followed that up with a similar letter to the VP of flight ops which got me a personal call at my reserve squadron and another invite to Atlanta.
The last time I wrote a letter stating the rest seat change on the ER was a clear statement by Delta they were willing to trade revenue for safety. Another Atlanta invite.
