Other than throwing barbs....can you explain to me how Delta could withstand a 1 year long strike?
If you could include servicing debt, gate space, lease payments, rental overhead, and ALL commitment on contracts....and, and, and...in the #'s it would be helpful
Yes, Delta would declare bankruptcy and yes, it would be a reorg and yes, people would keep their jobs, and yes 99.9% of the pilots could withstand a 1 year pay hiatus, and yes, it may take 10 years to recoup their pay scales(maybe even immediately)
CBreezy said simply said Delta can not withstand a 1 year strike.
Are you saying you disagree with that, and if so why?
Gotcha. I agree that DELTA could never withstand a 1 year strike. But, those ship numbers would be flying well before a year lapsed...and they would need pilots...and 90% of us would be the pilots flying them. Ed and the gang would be ejected and I suspect operationally oriented people would be back at the helm in the C-Suites. Save few Fortune 500 companies, most restructure far more frequently than the Air Lines. The script is usually all the same...a company starts with passion and founder led leadership and they pass it on to those that love the mission, until eventually bean counters are all that is left on mahogany row....rinse...repeat.
If a strike lasted an entire year, Ed and the gang would have failed to "escape" with their fortunes. Ed would burn the furniture to pay a attorneys to assemble their parachutes inside of 60 days. Ed and the gang care less about the paint on the side of the plane and who prints the paystub than you or I do. But, in the end, we'd still be flying the same ship numbers on many of the same routes. This either happens sooner or this happens later, unfortunately.
