What did he find? What was the key to success?

The single common thread? Being fearless.

Management has run a campaign of fear to perfection.

Are you afraid if we don't accept this deal we will have to wait 3 years for another?

It is all a game and they are the masters.

What if Orville and Wilbur were afraid? Is Elon Musk afraid? Paul Revere? Dave Behncke? Thomas Edison? Steve Jobs?

Where would we be today if these men were not fearless?

You would be riding to the MEC meeting on horseback and you certainly would not be pilots.

Time is on our side and the Delta pilots are in no rush. Join together and abandon your fear.

Accepting this deal will be the biggest regret of your lives. Stand tall, reject this TA. Go in and get us the deal we all expected. The deal we so richly deserve.

Fraternally
