They will believe anything Big Daddy Delta says to keep them working for poverty wages until the operation is wound down. This whole thing is a nightmare for the rest of the profession. It is truly the laughing stock of the industry.

An aviator should have no fear for whatever he faces. Able to remain calm in the middle of a storm and always ready to methodically approach any emergency. We are leaders that the traveling public trusts with their lives. This airline accepts pay cuts to already poverty wages while the rest of the industry is demanding pay RAISES. It's an insane story, it really is. And not something that any aviator should look up to.

We have to draw a hard line and hold the bar high. We deserve high wages to compensate for great amounts of responsibility and time away from home. If you do not stand with this, then you do not belong in this brotherhood.
