If this thing passes I'm going to do everything possible to dissuade my mil and civilian buddies from applying here. If Delta thinks they have a manning problem now, wait until no one wants to work here.
Time to dust off the non-flying resume.
I agree with your first premise 100%: If this passes we are lowering the "Bar" so much we are basically laying it on the floor.
I disagree with your second premise 100%: DAL is already a top choice for new hires and if we raise our pay rates we will still be a top choice.
Anyway - time will tell.
