Again - DAL (your company and my parent company) got tired of paying for $3,000 tickets several times a day because the retirees (who no longer contribute to the bottom line) got on the 6am and DAL purchased tickets on the 8am.
You can call my comment vindictive if you want. If does not change the fact - this wouldn’t be an issue is the pilots hadn’t given up scope in the first place. You have two remedies. Waste capital on higher pass travel benefits to beat out S3A for retirees or fix section 1 of your PWA. I think section 1 solves more problems (how many hostages does DAL have?), but that’s your PWA, not mine.
Maybe we should just sell EDV to SW. Problem solved.
Heck we sold ASA to SW. ASA used to be wholly owned too.
The fact remains. Our retirees worked for Delta Air Lines. You do not.
This may not go anywhere. All Cog was asking was for us to take a look at it. I called my reps and asked them to see what they can do. Nothing may come of it, or it might get traction. We'll see.
