At Northwest, so you're a former NW pilot. No longer flying? Because most of deadzoners from the South side weren't living in fear. And I doubt the internet, which Al Gore invented many years ago, could have provided much insight into our management's play book.
They may not have even known if Delta was going to make it. The union insiders, W & D, were on the forum stating the pension was well funded. Most of us watched TWA, PanAm, Eastern, etc. fold, never thought we could be in their shoes. So our concessions seemed logical in light of the situation. If I could have googled, "will Delta go out of business", I doubt that would have helped, the magic 8 ball had more answers.
Since, you were not a Delta guy during BK, I would gladly buy you a glass of **** regarding our decisions. Cheers.
