However, I do find the encouragement of pilots flying for other airlines a little disingenuous. "Go ahead and strike- do it for all of us!" If DAL short-term strikes or folds completely, it will take a huge amount of capacity out of play and enhance every other airline's situation accordingly. Capacity goes down, yields go up,etc.
Good luck DAL pilots- I hope you get what you want.

Ahh a healthy dose of truth. How many times have I heard pilots say the govt. should let usair die so the other carriers can be profitable. Its so easy to cheer when its not your job.
