It is not my intent to belittle a pre-merger brand of pilot. I belittle the situational ethics and illogic that the "grow a set" posters put forward. Of course, I note that you didn't respond to the "grass skirt" comments by the tough guy.

Sorry slow,
I was iphone APC'ing and I missed your retraction. I'll go back to see what your response to Carl was and come back for a discussion. But, I will point out that with the North group you will find a group that has been battered by management for decades. During that time we were working for different management teams. What worked for you probably would not have worked for us.
I don't know what will work for this New Delta pilot group, but I do like what I see from this management team and there are a lot of good things in the contract. So, I am more than willing to adopt your cooperative style. But, if the old NWA style management tactics come to DAL, are you willing to consider the "grow a set" style? (Not my choice of words.)
Point in case. Legal or not. I don't think a brake should have been released after US Air, UAL, and you guys lost your pensions. Illegal job action? Yes. But, Worth should have been willing to go to jail and done so, if necessary, to force some other resolution. Issues like that are IMO that important and should be defended by all means necessary. Come on. Isn't that the American way. That's how we got here. Right?
