I am still waiting DALPA's explanation as to why/how this is in the PILOT's best interest other than the usual "If DAL succeeds, we all succeed" mantra. I know that.. I get it, but if this deal results in OUR guys getting furloughed or some other nonsense, maybe it isn't worth our support. I have no idea since the MEC does not communicate any of this to us. This is a huge bet on Tokyo. One city. I hope it's worth it.
