Honest Question: Does the percentage at which the previous contract pass influence the starting point of new negotiations? Consider our last cycle: When a pilot group votes overwhelmingly in favor for a TA, how does that set up the next cycle of negotiations? Would a vote like that make it more or less challenging for ALPA negotiators to make the case that pilots are demanding changes to that contract language in the next cycle? Seems like they’d walk in and be like, “Our guys voted 90%+ in favor for the previous contract, but let me tell you why it’s a piece of sh*t and we’re demanding changes to it now!” How seriously does Delta take that claim? The way I see it, the Company would be entering new negotiations with a mindset that pilots just got most of what they asked for in the previous contract, therefore why give the pilots two slamdunks in a row?
