Describes you aptly. That's coming from someone from the 50 and older demographic that you characterize according to your own personal perceptions of yourself. It's extremely arrogant to believe that everyone else subscribes to your beliefs.

Now that we have established that:

Saying NO to a substandard TENTATIVE agreement is not only a strategy but a necessity. It's not holding ones breath and stomping their feet in a tantrum until they get what they want.

It's business and just that.

If it doesn't meet OUR collective needs, it needs to be sent back with direction and clear information as to why and how it needs to be modified.

Afraid of getting "parked" !?!

Ignorant statement at best, more a proclamation designed to fan the flames of FUD, especially with the exaggerative description wasting "year after year swinging for the fences."

Who exactly are you so terrified of getting parked by? Again, tell us when the amendable date of the current contract is?






Again, your ignorance is glaring.

First, your perceptions about PEBs are wrong. They don't preclude a strike at all. 100% wrong.

Furthermore, a strike isn't the leverage that works in a situation like this anyway. However, then again you know that. Perhaps if you don't, be rest as sutured that 98 percent of the pilots at Delta do know that.

Finally, where you have completely come off the rails is your idea of reasonable.

Another 4-8-3-3 quick TVM cram down is NOT reasonable in this revenue and profit environment. Particularly when it's coupled with the glaring fact that our BK concessions have not been restored after a whole decade.

Solid gains are what the pilots reasonably want as indicated by our survey responses. It IS realistic to achieve them, quite notably now that Delta has determined that they have enough free cash flow to reward the share holders and the share holding management folks with $ 6 billion dollars in share buy backs and dividends.
