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.
So you wonder why guys are critical? You conveniently pick the time frame (decade) that makes your point but does not tell the full story.
How about we go to back to 2004?
If you want to gain some credibility how about the whole truth? Or do you have to stick with the DALPA talking points?
