Ha! And I said it to you face to face, too.
I agree with you in a very small way about the letter. I wouldn't tell Anderson he was a bad leader, or the things I decided I would, or wouldn't do. Mainly, because it's counter-productive Mainly, because I know no one is perfect.
But, I would have no problem telling him, face to face, that the term within this TA was a bad mistake. All it does is insult an employee group that has bent over backwards for Delta. It's punitive, and concessionary, instead of positive and rewarding.
I've "met" him several times, and he remembered me each time, after the first, and I don't think he would get all bent out of shape about it.
He's not that kind of guy. If the TA is voted down, I hope he stays and gets involved in the negotiations, personally.
Now, as for the screamer, my fellow Chicagoan? All I can say is, he must be a Cubs fan. I have my thoughts as to how he would handle criticism, too. In fact, I've seen it on video.
If the TA is voted down, I believe he has got to go.
