All I can say is that we will get what we demand. In the past, Delta management has laughed all the way to the bank with their giant bonuses after we agree to a pithy contract.
We are at a crossroad where the regionals can push us up rather than us pull them up.
Two quotes that make me want to go "Airline Pilot" on people are:
1) "Don't kill the goose that layed the golden egg" and
2) "We need to pay our fair share"
