For those who didn't read that whole council 44 update, here's all you need to see to understand the views of amateur negotiators:
this agreement is the result of intense negotiations that extracted every bit of value that the company was willing to put into it....
Sick leave was the Company’s number one issue, driven by a 30% increase in sick leave use by the Delta pilots since C2012. Simply put, without addressing this issue, there was no path to an agreement...
Social media is a poor source of accurate information...
and compromised where we had to reach an agreement...
we believe that there is little upside potential by rejecting this agreement...
With over a billion dollars in improvements on the table, there is significant risk, with little likelihood of achieving more...
