You seem awfully bitter and that's understandable, however you need to figure out how things work. Who do we get our pass benefits through???? DELTA. Delta provides our pass benefits and no matter how much of a negotiated BS thing you think they are, Delta provides the benefits and calls the shots. Hence the decrease to S3C and the paying 200 bucks per year when it used to be 50. From Scott's mouth, they asked Delta to provide the same 6 month pass benefits for the furloughed pilots and Delta said, in order to give them benefits, then Delta rides s3 on ASA. Well, obviously ASA told them hell no.
