It's obvious to me that Richard learned what -not- to do, when it comes to talking/negotiating with the pilots. He saw what happens when you pizz them off enough to walk, at both CAL and EAL.
My question is, when is our MEC going to grown some stones and start showing how much money the Delta Pilots have contributed to Delta's record earnings, and demand that we be repaid?
How they let Richard's remark that "Labor Risk has been taken off the table" go unchallenged is beyond me.
Without Labor Risk, what leverage does any Union have when it comes time to negotiate?
Our MEC reminds me of that scene from Animal House where the frat boy is spanking the pledge with the big paddle, and the pledge is yelling, "Thank you Sir! May I have another?"
Richard is holding the paddle, while our MEC is bent over, begging to be spanked again.
