I'm not that clued in, but let me know if I'm getting this situation:

Losing 4 744's is going to cost us a lot of the highest paying jobs.

If the company has plans to replace them with something similar (ie. 777's), that would mitigate the jobs loss - but we are not getting any indications of that (at least in the short run).

To the contrary, the message from the company seems to be they will work with DALPA to address the circumstance. That sounds like a solution that does not involve more heavy airplanes (at least in the short run).

The most troubling is Delta's ability to continue their schedule with a greater reliance on our JV partners for the Atlantic flying. More work for their pilots, less for ours.

We have either giving the company the ability to do that (which we should un-give in the next contract). Or the company is in violation of the current contract and should be induced to comply.

Is that it or is there more to it?
