Trip drops for training would have some impact on manning but offset by additional vacation pay, training pay and new reroute rules. You can argue all day about each individual impact but the company now plans 670 fewer new hires over the next 28 months.
What happened man? I'm just as proud of working for Delta as you. Always spoke highly of Delta. But honestly dude the kool-aid you're drinking and the way that you talk about this failed contract.....Holly mackerel. Everything you say lately has a twist showing how you feel we were all wrong and look at all this great stuff we screwed up.
