Management has far exceeded restoration, and the shareholders are getting huge payouts. Billions are being spent on stock buybacks. The pilots want a contract that approximates the value of the contract they had before bankruptcy. It doesn't have to be an exact copy. But it needs significant improvement from what was in the TA to approach that level.
You might find that the thousands of employees at Delta who saw their jobs eliminated and were given the choice of no job or work for DGS or DSS or the name of the month for outsourcing would disagree with you on being made whole.
You might also take a look at the retirement program they now have verses what they had before chapter 11.
