The question everyone has to ask, I think, is this: are the pay increases worth the concessions? And only you can answer that.
IF this TA passes in 2018 Delta pilot pay will have increased 82% in a decade. So while the past may inform everyone's decision it is important to keep in mind the reality of our contract improvements (and give backs) of the last decade are NOT normal to the history of the industry.
This is the lie we have to fight. There are no pay "increases" in this TA. There are only transfer payments. They are taking money from one pot and putting it in another. PS, QOL, and other employees are paying for this.
