Back to Nu's quesiton about
:
What are you willing to give up to get the company to do (XYZ)?
I am willing to give up... the MEC.
I couldn't resist. I wanted to type "give up signing LOAs and tossing a life line without any pending XYZ addressed..." but it was just too tempting to put out a tweak.

Frankly though, I'm not a hater and I like what I am seeing from the current Delta management so far. But I'm one of the guys that should/wants to be flying here for the next 30+ years and I'm not as worried about the current administration as I am the next one and the one after that and so on.
I think a stronger section 1 on the top, middle and bottom end is everything as we battle JVs, Alaska, DCI and DCI. What's C2K rates worth if everyone is getting displaced, knocked down or furloughed?
In a perfect world, we should fight to make Section 1 a simple one line: If a passenger buys a ticket via Delta then it is to be flown on a Delta mainline airplane and a Delta seniority pilot. Then do as congress does, allow for relief where needed but put expirations on them. No concession ever seems to have an expiration on it.
