We're not owed anything because FA's got it. We seriously lag United and are falling behind each day. Its time for a very positive contract with no concessions. Thanks for your support.
Gloopy,
Two points. We do lag UAL and their FAs are organized. DAL FAs organizing would not be bad for us.
If the company and our negotiators both feel that we are also negotiating for the FAs then we are pretty much negotiating for them.
