I don’t blame DAPLA if a deal is not reached, I would blame them if they refused to even negotiate to prove a point[/QUOTE]

I agree. DALPA from their comma has been trying to negotiate for awhile. I don’t think they are trying to cut off their noses to spite their faces. Delta is in dire straits and so are all of our jobs from number 1 on down. I expected a black swan event or 2 in my career but this one is unprecedented.
