”I shoulda waited. I got a bad deal.”




Reality: for better or worse, you’re hitched to her. Leaving her is too expensive now. Management knows it. It’s not you they care about, it’s the sub 5 yr crowd they want to get to stay so those can then one day also be too senior to leave/start over.



I’d respect the anger crowd side if they at least admit the want Delta pay for themselves - nothing to do with stopping attrition. For the reasons I’ve written many times over, money is not gonna stop attrition. I was hired here at 27. If I was 27 again, not even $380 12th yr would get me to stay here. Why would that youngster limit himself to 5 west coast bases, MAX, and slow retirements? The math doesn’t add up. It isn’t just about money.
