No. Those "union boys" think whatever Delta says is good for them is good for us. They've accepted bankruptcy as a reset and don't want to rock the boat. They fancy themselves as business savvy and sympathize with the bean counters. This makes management's job infinitely easier in convincing thousands of pilots to accept a drastically lower standard of compensation for our profession.

They do a great job for management's desire to keep costs as low as possible. But for the pilots who understand the true value of what we do and also understand how relatively insignificant our cost is in the grand scheme of things, they do a p*ss poor job.

I really think that some of them are just ignorant. Some are naive. Some are extremely compliant. Some have fooled themselves into thinking they know more about business than they actually know. And some are arguably playing for the wrong team.
