The NO voters should be there. Another great communication tool is to stop by the DALPA concession stand any begin asking questions that fence sitters may not consider. I like to ask:

1) DALPA concedes that the 6% year one pay raise is offset by changing the profit sharing formula, how much additional is lost by the change in definition of PTIX?

2) Beyond the direct impact of OE trip pulls, is there also an indirect loss of QOL and pay because of FO block hour reduction?

3) In the conversion from EASK to BH, why did we set the bar so far below the current ratio? followed by.. Once we take delivery of the remaining 330s and park the 747s during this contract, we still have a smaller average fleet size than AF/KLM. Wouldn't EASK guarantee more flying for Delta than BH does AFTER we "up gauge"?

4) What is your opinion of the economic viability of 50 seat RJs? Won't the economy make them go away on their own?

5) I've heard a lot of good points from DALPA supporting the TA. Can you share a few of the reasons 8 members of the MEC voted NO?

6) The courts publish dissenting opinions on divided rulings, has DALPA considered publishing the letters from the LECs that have viewpoints counter to the TA?
