First words out of MD's mouth, no more money left on the table. Dumb.
Money left on the table is up to RA. He feels he offered a TA that put Delta's overall pilot costs well above the competition. The company can of course afford more. They can afford a lot more.
Wall Street and the BOD however would cruicify RA if he jumped his costs that far above the competition. The question becomes how do you force RA and the company to pay a large premium over other airlines for pilots. We have been told on the forums the leverage we had but so far none of it actually seems to exist.
The RLA and anti labor judges handcuff us. Anyone with two touching brain cells can read and understand the positions the NMB is taking. They are about as far from labor friendly as you can get. No one on here has shown me a method to overcome that and put more money in my pocket then the path we have taken working with the company.
