I don't dispute that we are back in negotiations. I don't dispute the state of the industry. I also don't dispute that while I've been here, DALPA has traded our only true leverage-able section of the contract (section 1) for a weaker and weaker position. I've said it before, I don't know why the company even wants to negotiate with us, we have no leverage, we pi$$ed it away.
OK, we may be in complete agreement on some things. Productivity & sick leave they probably want and I'm not planning on flying much more or being any less sick. I don't see anything of big value DAL would want from us aside from RJ/Intl scope relief and IMO they can't have ANY. They may also want ProShar changes. I can't see giving that either absent a very steep penalty. I'm hoping for a contract sooner rather than later, but not optimistic as I'm unwilling to give much to get it. C12 and C15 are completely different animals. OFG
