DAL pilots like their company. Do you think negotiating publicly will be beneficial for more than feel good intangible result? Kind of like, "Yeah we got a lot less than we asked for but at least D-ALPA has some sort of spine." If anything its harder to negotiate in private with doing so publicly gets more pilots off your back, even if it effects the results.
Please list the reasons it would be bad to inform the line pilots of management's positions/opener?
What you fail to understand is if we make their positions public, they cannot ask to reduce profit sharing, extend freezes and destroy our sick leave. It would be anarchy.
