Why has the MEC NEVER added up all the Billions of dollars this pilot group's concessions has added to Delta's bottom line since LOA 46, 51 and DB plan elimination?

Why has the MEC never spun up the Family Awareness Network, to educate and motivate this pilot group to DEMAND Restoration?

This industry has finally pulled out of the downward spiral it entered back in 1978 with Deregulation, through consolidation and capacity discipline, what was 8 major airlines is now 4, and all of them have figured out that undercutting each other is just plain stupid.

The industry is now making record earnings, with more to come, some of those 'earnings' are a direct result of our bankruptcy concessions.

Yet not a peep out of our MEC about restoring us to pre-bankruptcy pay/benefit levels.

Why do we even waste time with those surveys if;

1. the MEC is going to ignore them and claim they were unrealistic

2. We will never see what it was the pilot group actually wanted

Once again, Richard is going to get us to fund any pay raises with profit sharing exchanges.

Another Cost Neutral contact on the way.

ME Black swans on the horizon.

Got's to get into China

Just give them some JV relief and they'll buy us more little airplanes to fly!

Woo Hoo!

Oh, and the Rush?

Richard wants to be able to announce a TA at the June BOD meeting.

SSDD. C2012 all over again.
