I agree that the factors you cite for C2015 are influencing any deal. I guess I just feel we can achieve a much better deal than what is rumored to be in this TA.
If this comes down to a vote of the membership, I have not decided how I will vote because I have no facts to base that decision on. I do NOT go ready, fire, aim.
Frankly, I don't know what my BATNA is but I will know it when I see it.
On another note, if you don't feel like I'm a Delta Pilot, thats on you. I've flown with at least one and had one or two on my jumpseat.

Yeah, that was out of line, sorry about that. Coffee hadn't kicked in yet.
You're not going to get anything better from the NMB unless you make it clear to them that you have been reasonable and bargaining in good faith from the beginning. Acting prematurely not only reduces what is possible in two-way deals, but improves the company's position in mediation.
Tomorrow we get actual numbers, and a much clearer choice.
