Default The truth about LOA 19 finally surfaces

In reading the transcripts of Dave Stevens testimony, isn't it obvious now that we can put to bed one nasty episode in this whole merger soap opera. It seems pretty clear that, contrary to the official communications of the Northwest MEC, the Delta MEC tried repeatedly to get the Northwest pilots to engage in negotiations during LOA 19. They also tried to get the original deal for the Northwest pilots, only to be rebuffed by Delta management. Finally, once the Northwest MEC determined they were being left behind, they tried to scuttle the Delta deal.

So perhaps the Northwest pilots who repeatedly attacked Delta pilots, calling them scabs and back stabbers, could at least recognize that they were wrong, and that the purpose of Letter 19 was to get money for both Delta pilots and Northwest pilots, money that will soon show up in your paychecks.

Is it too much to ask for at least one person to say, sorry, I was wrong? Probably.
