Yes. You asked the question, then said nobody had the "guns" to answer it. Which was interesting because I thought you French didn't like guns.

That's true, but that's why you negotiate retroactive pay to recoup some or all of what was lost while management dragged their feet.

Afford what? Fighting for what you're worth and for what you know the company can easily afford?

You're behaving just like Alan Shore. My question is not a straw man because it's based on actual fact. The DALPA contract comparison clearly showed where Delta pilots lead the industry and where they do not. My question is: How many areas should Delta pilots lead?

I know you don't want to go there, but it's not because you think the question is "stoopid". It's because you're uncomfortable with the answer.
