If I were on the United MEC, I wouldn’t need to know whether the United pilots would vote in favor of Delta’s contractual value. That’s a given and largely will capped at that value plus some marginal gain. What I would need to know is if a choice between compensation and “QOL” must be made at some point, which one should the money go to? Which QOL items absolutely have to be improved? I would hope the survey would address that question. Also, I would hope that survey would explore the question of time and perceived risk going forward. That is a very real and legitimate concern with some, and zero concern for others. I can only say that regardless of how people perceive time risk, I would hope there would be a desire to get the deal done in an expedited manner.
