I agree with the original post.

Airlines are run by beancounters. Bottom line is, if it costs the company money, management will not do it.

I think the DAL pilots have greatly underestimated the sadistic NWA management that is now running DAL, and the ensuing labor strife coming down the pike. They are also greatly overestimating the power and testicular fortitude of Lee Moak.

Time will tell.
