My worry is the mentality behind such an answer.

The answer I would have hoped to hear is 'THERE IS NFW PS IS NOW OR WILL EVER BE ON THE TABLE. PS WAS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR MANY TIMES OVER BY THE SACRIFICES THIS GROUP MADE TO SAVE DELTA. PERIOD. END OF STORY.'

Not some weak justification because of something brand X does or does not have.

Sometimes id swear there are pilots in this group that feel the need to back up to get their paycheck.

Wringing their hands over how 'distressed' institutional investors...... you know, hedge fund managers that blow 100 million on a Christmas party and bonuses for themselves.... are about a delta pilots profit sharing payout.

If this mentality is in any way present at the table......... the next Ta is going to be another step backwards.
