Although not a majority, the pilots with Tricare do not need improved active and retiree healthcare plans from Delta. So for them, it's not a worth a real struggle and will not have a much longer positive impact on the "whole" pilot group. I'm not saying it's not a worthwhile goal, just don't cast the wide net and say it's "worth the real struggle" for everyone.
I didn’t miss the point. I stand by what I said. I and many others could say the same about DB restoration. I do not need nor want a DB, therefore, it doesn’t benefit me to spend negotiating capital on it.
If the majority believe it’s worth it, they will vote accordingly. As our ranks become much more civilian than military over the coming years, I believe you’ll be in even a far greater minority.
