Guys like Sailing will brush this off but we haven't really done anything besides say no so far. No labor unrest. No public message sent. In fact labor peace is a big deal to Delta, analysts and investors. This ship might start getting rocked pretty soon if management doesn't come to the table with something more reasonable.

Sailing and like minded sheep try to scare us into not sticking up for ourselves. Before he jumps in and accuses of something illegal, that's not what I'm talking about. I think each pilot will just get fed up and quit giving and that will make a huge difference in many metrics. It will have an effect.
Wall Street views costs as far more important then labor peace. The Day the contract was voted down Delta stock had one of its biggest 1 day gains in history.
