Should be able to staff 154 planes with pilots already hired.
Sounds like the union has already inked a deal, and Delta can forecast the cost of making the move.
Even if the vote fails it ain't gonna go back and come back with much more than 2-4% or so in total value.
They kinda have you over a barrel with a yes vote because if you vote no then the bonus expires they'll save 13 million every 4 months until the vote goes through.
You'd have to be clearing 150k a year in wages to hold out for 5% more in rates, and still beat forfeiting a bonus cycle.
