This industry is NOT proactive, it's reactive and it keeps making the same mistakes over and over. Just look at the ticket sales at SWA. Same old shtick.
Delta likes to make a big deal about paying down debt. That's all well and good, but at some point we are going to need to spend some big bucks. The Mad Dogs need replacing, our tech is ancient and other parts of our fleet are getting up there too.
Right now it's all about looking good for the street. Short term stuff. Stock buybacks and "shareholder value"
All that being said the % increase would have to be VERY significant for me to consider a yes vote for a TA that modified PS.
I must be missing something then because last I checked the TA hasn't been released to the membership for review. Secondly, the LEC reps I've talked to have said that PS sharing concessions weren't even in the company's opener.
Perhaps you and the rest of the "long time lurkers, first time posters" know something we don't.
