It is exactly true shiznit. No matter how many times you MEC types want to define over and over again what management said, management said it. They've never taken it back. We're seeing the results today.

That number changes constantly from you MEC types. Why? Because you've made it up. You won't show your numbers any more than you'll show the survey results from the last contract. Nobody's buying it.

I'll repeat what mangement said because I know it's your job to spin. Management said our contract was cost neutral. But they went further. They said that the
pilot's contract was so "good" that it would provide for Delta being able to invest in initiatives that would benefit
other employee groups at Delta. We're seeing that now with all other employee groups being back to their pre-bankruptcy wages.

No matter how often you want to redefine this with statements and numbers you can't possibly back up, it's just not true. Maybe we'll be getting a thank you from the other employee groups for our concessions.
