If DAL cancels the 787 award, the replacement aircraft is staffed for five years by NWA guys, even if it means its a 777 which DAL flies. No one group profited, no one group was the proverbial sacrificial lamb. No one group is elated, everyone pretty much sees the fairness. All in all its a decent list.
I agree. I know it will be tough for some guys to swallow, but with a pilot group of 12,000+ you are going to get that. I for one, am glad it's DONE. Let's move on. United we stand.
