Keep in mind that Delta is watching EVERYTHING we coin on here. But, in this case, they are probably upset with what is going on on Facebook.
The problem, which they didn't anticipate, is that this is a REALLY BAD TA and people/pilots are reacting accordingly.
I'm pushing 20+ years and never seen anything like this TA. When NWA was loosing hundreds of millions of dollars a year, the contract we negotiated in 2003-4 was better than this. I think it was a 3.5/4.5% raise with no real concessions.
IMO, in C2015, they overreached, and they weren't prepared for it.
It never helps when two parties negotiate for a group when both are removed from the daily realities the group deals with.
Maybe, they need to have line pilots negotiate the next TA.
