I don't think the industry is too worried about helping Delta out. They were not worried about the industry when they made the RJ machine.
Now... Contract being too long is a very valise point.
I've had trouble with this logic too.
"We'll probably get a nice raise on our next contract if your vote fails."
If we turn this down we are locking in rates that cannot be higher than DL's. Period. So no matter what DL does, it's two largest competitors will be paying rates less than it is.
