"Process!" cried the losers.

Pilots who voted for C2012 were asked if the deal was acceptable, and not how it was achieved. Regardless of how much Carl asserts otherwise, the only two possible reasons they found it acceptable are:

A. It was an acceptable deal.
B. We are clueless, spineless, dupes who can't read, listen, or ask questions.

The "process" was subject to an aggressive organizing drive by DPA. The complaints about it by Carl's reps, and mine, were heard.

The simplest conclusion here is that Carl's views aren't shared by most Delta pilots. That's not a slam. Somebody has to occupy the fringes of the bell curve.
