How is this bad? The RJs being discussed vanished, profit sharing was reaffirmed, VEBAs were jettisoned and sick got the hospitalization verification. The focused narrowed and the deal became clearer.
During this time management reevaluated also and the must have RJs went from 1/2 to none. Being put on notice focused both sides.
That is utter nonsense. The people "in the back seat" revolted against the manifesto delivered by Roger Goodwin. You don't get to claim that your horrible, no good, very bad idea to burn the place down somehow resulted in a businesslike outcome.
Bill can get a consensus on the MEC (even if they all voted for themselves, as you see), but his skill set runs smack against a wall when the task involves an actual decision with accountability afterwards. You can kiss the mid-contract opportunities goodbye for a while, he doesn't know how to chase those while keeping his legion of backstabbers happy.
The TA vote shows it plain and simple. 82 percent of the Delta pilots supported the deal and the means by which we achieved it. The twelve had NOTHING to do with that effort, and had to be frightened into doing it by their own electorates. They have no standing anymore.
