I have a hard time believing we have very many pilots who'd fall for this kind of nonsense. Delta is a multi billion dollar corporation, we have all kinds of MRO contracts tied to these purchases, and openers haven't been exchanged. They'll buy what they need, we will negotiate a rate into our new contract, and the world will keep rotating. If they threaten to cancel the order because we reject a proposal, so be it.
