The RLA system and bankruptcy process is biased very much against the individual worker/pilot.

That being said, I would think that I would expect only as much as the pilot group would be willing to demand--and I am not in a position to gauge that at Delta. The company wants a 50.001% ratification because any more than that and they think they've given too much. I would think if you've been loud and clear to your union, I would expect as much increase in benefits as you've told them you need--otherwise they couldn't get something ratified? Therefore, you either trust in the leadership you have elected or you don't.

And, that's the crux of what I see in these Delta threads on APC: there at least two major "camps" or "parties" of pilots at Delta. Which is the larger "party" I don't know. And, I don't know if the Delta MEC leadership is a minority or majority "party" in power at the moment?
