When I engage with FA's as to our negotiations, I simply remind them that we are still being paid 18% LESS than in 2004, AND we lost our retirement! I tell them that at least $2 Billion of Delta's record earnings every year came from our ongoing pay cuts and lost retirement plans.

I remind them that Ed blew $4.5 Billion on bad fuel hedging, and is also blowing $6 Billion on stock buybacks.... for himself!

I tell them the pilots simply want our pay and retirement restored, before Ed blows any more of our stolen retirement funding on stock buybacks.
