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 want Delta pay for myself. I want Delta pay for you, too. And who knows what Delta pay would do for attrition. There's a lot of personal pride with being paid "the best." That alone could slow attrition. By the way, we're not talking about 100% effectiveness. Just slowing departures and increasing arrivals. That's all.
You're too arrogant to admit that adding money might help in those areas.
