Our executives ignored their expert Captain Steve Dickson and their own staffing experts on the non pilot side of the house when they told them to begin hiring.

Was it by design?

Some of the kool aid club would try to tell you concessions are necessary. That is simply not true. IMO Delta will make $6 billion this year and $10 billion in 2016 and beyond. Why would we consider permanent concessions??

If our leaders choose to help management out of a temporary jam it should be with short term help in exchange for premium pay and a hundred captain upgrades per month of relief.

We have given enough concessions to last a lifetime.

NOT ONE PERMANENT CONCESSION!!!!
