As a fellow Delta crewmember (on the other side of the cockpit door) and as a pilot that's about a dozen hours away from a CPL I wish you guys the best during negotiations.

We have 0 bargaining power as do the rest of the employee groups (aside from the dispatchers) and even though many of you disagree over the effectiveness of ALPA, at least you do have the chance for section 6 negotiations.

I have to say that I am surprised that the Pilot Medical Plan isn't much better than what's offered to everyone else. I also don't see many people talking about the degradation of our health insurance. Is anyone concerned about this or you're just more focused on other areas?

Good luck to you all, and I hope you get as much as possible out of RA et all. Yes, they've turned the company around but it's time to open up the wallet and give back. Please don't settle...
