Delta has more than enough money. They do not have more then enough pilots.
I'd be surprised if this new TA doesn't reflect that.
Fully expect to be asked to fly more. But I don't buy that only a 5 percent raise would have been accepted as the best they could negotiate 6 months before the amenable date - call me an optimist. Sounds like trying to lower expectations so 9% sounds more palatable (with 20-40% being my personal expectation depending on other variables).
