^^^ true.

After 15+ yrs within ALPA, I haven't seen anything different. Granted ten of those belong to the lost decade.

Record profits among all airlines, now will be the only time, in a long time to capture major gains. That way when the next down turn comes, when givebacks are needed.... We aren't in a worse position.

I'm not thinking so much gains the company hurts... But come on... Let's make it a leading contract. None of this mediocre "cost neutral" crap.

Delta crews work better than most airline crews I've witnessed. Should be rewarded, and not with PS. One oil price spike, one terror attack, and poof... Buh bye profit.
