And this is the self justification that is the entire reason for the concern. Is this mind set elsewhere? Yes. Does that make it acceptable? Absolutely not. We are our own worse enemies, and management knows it. It's the entire reason for this conversation. We need to get the deal we ALL deserve. Not a deal with a shiny pension and concessions elsewhere that will be dangled like a carrot in front of the demographic that is looking at retiring extremely soon, or under this CBA.
Once again, thank you for confirming exactly the reason I'm concerned in the first place. Delta got a deal that benefitted everyone, with no concessions, it shouldn't be that hard for us to do the same.
