Let’s not fall over the UA agreement as if it were some sort of amazing deal for the pilots. It was a B scale (and a C scale) for all intents and purposes. Had the gov cheese not come in, their deal would’ve looked a lot worse than ours. Both companies/unions gambled, UA won this round.
Now, that doesn’t mean Delta should continue to double down on their problem. There is a solution...come to the union with concessions to US for relief. Will it happen? Of course not. Ed and JL are too prideful for that.
I will say, I won’t be shocked if JL is thrown under the proverbial (air)bus for Meltdown III: Easter Drift and is canned by Ed.
