Carl,

You know better than that. The issue is here, among the Delta pilots and their Representatives. National's not going to refuse to sign a Delta contract. They work for us.

I am optimistic that we are going to improve recognition language through the efforts of our MEC. These men are always working to improve the pay and working conditions of Delta pilots. I have been vocal about the opportunities that I've seen, sure, but I don't know of any other MEC that does it better than we do.
