We are just stuck in a bad spot contract cycle wise. I think our best bet long term is to hope the company caves to the unions ask of this only being a 3 year deal.
But also how much more can delta ask for other than modest raises and a few things here and there? Could be the easiest negotiation ever as long as their company isn't looking for concessions (which I doubt).
