I sent in my get serious email immediately. skipped a 3 day green slip to picket (it was picked up by a flight pay loss regular, i kid you not) I will always vote yes to strike.

We need to hold the line right here and stop negotiating with ourselves.

I think Captain Malone believed Bastian would negotiate in good faith after the aips. Sadly he did not yet again.

We have no choice but to take a strike vote. This will generate great media for us. Then request release. Again great media.

And if no progress is made, a vote of no confidence in Bastian.

I know this makes the company men cry. But it is justified.

After numerous carriers had brand damaging computer failures, Bastian choose to buy back stock instead of investing in our air line and protecting our brand.

Bastian is also turning his back on the Delta pilots after we have made well over $10 Billion in concessions. By far the largest contributor to the success and profitability Delta enjoys today.

We didn't choose this fight. I didn't. the 12 didn't.

Bastian did. He has zero respect for us.
