No I did not. Which only strengthens my argument that until you can provide some, your statement is nothing more than your opinion. I'm willing to accept that you've spoken with other Delta pilots that share your view, but that doesn't make your view the majority.

Still conjecture on your part. You're assuming that is the case.

Cause I can guarantee you I never ran across a single line pilot at the time that had expectations anywhere near that low.
Well, 63% of the pilot group felt those numbers were acceptable. If they didn't feel that way, then they should have voted NO.
