Think about it. They love payrates. Because that means dues.

That is a good point.
I respect subject matter experts, but in the end they do not have to live and work under this TA. Everyone who is
not a delta pilot (especially the media and your neighbor) always look at nothing but our pay rates and simply compare it to what they make when judging us.
I really don't think anyone but a delta line pilot can appreciate the nuances of QOL and work rules. That's why I think everyone
but the line pilots were surprised at the outcome of this TA.
