DALPA: “Make no mistake, the size of ALPA's ask is significant.“ Put your complete position out in public and let us see. Is your ask so “significant” that even a unicorn flying over a rainbow couldn’t get there? Last time we at least knew our position. This time we don’t know - anything really.
The company also needs to clearly show us their table position. Show us how valuable, or not, you think we are.
To both sides:
Show us real numbers.
We have a need to know.
That’s correct. SHARE the openers on both sides and many of our simpleton minds would be able to figure out what is reasonable. After reading JGs memo yesterday I am not so sure that ALPA didn’t shoot themselves in the foot with their “significant ask.”
Delta mgmt probably reacted the same way as I did when I saw their stupid MBCBP proposal.
