Great point that imo is the feeling of many Delta pilots. There IS money out there.

Millions will go to Delta execs this year

Hundreds of Millions offered to JAL

Millions spent purchasing hundreds of RJ's to OUTSOURCE our jobs since BK.

Bottom line is that most Delta pilots feel that is some low hanging fruit to be had.
