Absolutely it did. From a Representational standpoint, they were "Delta pilots" represented by the Delta MEC. It is easy to sell a subsidiary. Much more difficult to sell your own pilots.

It was a freight train who's momentum would not be deterred, but we could have at least analyzed it to determine what it was worth to enable the flexibility management desired.

Now we are a little behind, but we still need to evaluate what the cancellation of the flow is worth. If the flow was an effective furlough deterrent, then the cancellation of the flow should be worth at least a no furlough guarantee for everyone on the property now. Further, since the E175 was specifically a mainline jet replacement, pilots from the 737 down should be pay protected seat & BASE!

Delta says we're growing, so it should be easy to get better protection than a flow down to Go Jets.
