I don't see Restoration as 'asking for the moon.'
Just write it all down, add up everything we GAVE UP in LOA's 46 and 51, add in the BILLIONS we LOST when they gave our DB plan to the PBGC, then publish that number (which I'm sure is well over $10 Billion over the past 11 years) and tell the company they can thank us for Saving Delta, by restoring us to pre-bankruptcy pay and benefits.
Pretty simple concept.
Not asking for the moon, just give us back what we gave up.
They've been spending Billions on stock buybacks and dividends, for the shareholders, time to pay back the worker bees too.
