Issue is any of these would require DALPA concurrence, which wouldn’t be on their radar until the PWA is done I’d imagine (remember DAL hasn’t has a pay raise since early 2019).
DALPA will definitely engage management before the PWA is done, they are already not happy about $20+mil being dropped on EDV a few months ago. It’s in DALPAs interest to make sure Delta money spent on another pilot group is minimal. Supposedly DALPA is meeting with management including
Ed Bastian today to discuss.
