That letter is disgusting.

The Pros and Cons... yada, yada, yada. Harwood talking points.
We've been over all that ad nauseam.

Its when he talks about our negotiating leverage that it becomes disturbing.
The Council 44 Vice Chair sounds like he is genuinely afraid.
Afraid of Richard Anderson and afraid of the NMB. Afraid to get up off his knees.

Was the MEC completely unaware of the current economics of Delta Air Lines? The corporation is rolling in cash.
Why is the MEC so afraid and unwilling to threaten that cash machine? The Delta pilots generate that cash.
We are not weak. We are in perhaps the best environment to get a good contract that ANY union has ever been blessed with.

You can't negotiate if you cower in fear of your opponent.
No wonder we have a TA full of concessions.
Anderson had this thing won before the talks even started.

Our MEC (or at least 11 of them) are completely intimidated by management.
It was GAME OVER right from the start.

The MEC is beaten and defeated. Anderson owns them.
This Council 44 letter confirms it.

That leaves the line pilots. We'll see what happens.
