I'm not trying to jump on the "doom and gloom" bandwagon, but jeez you 9E guys who actually think that you're in a GOOD situation are killing me!

How are you going to fly your wonderful 10 year contract if you're sitting on the other side of a picket line?

If NewDelta does try to back out of your contract, even illegally, how long do you think PNCL can afford to stay in court against the largest airline in the WORLD (with billions in cash in the bank)?

Why do you think that if you get the contract you deserve, *poof* instantly overnight everyone will magically be happy, productive, and efficient enough to be competitive?

Don't take this as bashing 9E, i'm not, I've got a LOT of friends there from new hires to captains to check airmen and even scheduling, and I wish them all the best. But as they say, "Denial" isn't just a river in Egypt...
