Ok this confuses me. Just after we get the TA the media starts reporting this, for example:

"The Business Chronicle notes the agreement would allow Delta to operate more 737-900ER and Embraer E190 aircraft, which the airline intends to acquire as soon as the agreement is ratified."

As far as I know Delta is free to buy these aircraft anytime, as many as they want, under our CURRENT contract. So why is it that once again they are trying to pin new aircraft acquisition to a yes vote? Pure bribery. Its obvious and insulting. Are we that lame? I sure hope we didn't give up any negotiating capital to acquire aircraft that the company doesn't need our permission for anyway.
