Easy, and this is at least the tenth time I've told you this. They
didn't give us $1 billion. You guys have made that number up out of whole cloth by adding gains without accounting for losses. Management has consistently described our contract as "cost neutral." But then they went further by stating: "The additional savings realized from the pilot's contract will allow us to fund initiatives for the benefit of
other Delta employees." Then they followed through by recently announcing that all employees at Delta have been returned to their pre-bankruptcy wages...except the pilots.
There's no question that our contract cost the company nothing when it's costs are balanced against its savings. No question. But there is mounting evidence that shows it may have been close to
benefit neutral to us when it's increased
wage rates are balanced against its concessions.
That's the answer to your question alfaromeo. They were thrilled to give us very little net gains in order to obtain 717's that were coming anyway.
