Huge tactical error opening so close to what most pilots will consider their contract floor. 60% FAE should have been included along with min day. If we go down even 1% from our opening position, I'm a no.

Again, you don't anchor your negotiating position so close to your bottom line. If the company pushes for any of the bogus nonsense they proposed in TA1 the operation will degrade in every category and DPA will get a shot at TA3.

If scope isn't air tight and management keeps buying/sending flying to alter ego flying operations, the congressional writing campaign from Delta pilots needs to begin to keep US pilot jobs in the US. It's complete hypocrisy to be writing letters to save jobs while management siphons those jobs to other carriers. Just because management decides which other than Delta pilots to use does not make it right to outsource in such a way.

If management drags their feet or insults the Delta pilots in their "counter" it will be time to take the gloves off and get very public about every little and big thing that is wrong with them vs us from compensation (stealing our pensions while handsomely rewarding themselves) to anti american tax policy, etc
