If there is a loud voice, something with spine behind "heightened expectations" then we will get more. If people are wallflowers they'll get what they deserve.
They need your support and need to hear from you. I mean that as plainly as I can say it.
I agree 100%, but the MEC needs to get the pilot group spooled up, like they did for C2K, with a common goal like "Restoration", and have Family Awareness meetings, and publish a list of all the sacrifices we made in LOA 46 and 51, and list how many BILLIONS this pilot group has contributed since 2004, to Save Delta, and how much of today's Billions in earnings came directly out of OUR contract and lost retirement plans!
The MEC has to LEAD first, then the Pilots will follow, just like we did in 2000.
So... why haven't we even heard a peep out of the MEC about Restoration?
