No. NWA did. Delta did not.

NWA/Delta used Midwest to block AirTrans growth plan and the pilots at Midwest were caught in the cross-fire. Give 400 dues paying ALPA members at Midwest a break. They took a bullet for you.
Where is your code of conduct?
You took a bullet for your incompetent management. The same way we did. There is/was nothing we could have done via Scope negotiations to protect you. Nothing.

It depends. How hard did YOU fight to make Midwest pilots the highest paid in the industry?
