I think duping the pilot group was a part of the plan as well but I think most of your group is smarter than that...you've all been there long enough to know better than to fall for that. Plus it wasn't exactly a big win for the current pilots. It may have boosted a couple of guys' moral but that excitement faded quickly I'm sure. Delta is ruthless and they have proven that over and over again.
