The reference was to Delta's 80 year history, we might as well start from scratch and come up with something that's modern and efficient in lieu of something you would expect back in the 70's (40 years later) when everything was done by hand. This AE system is a "one of a kind." I would be very interested to see the demographics of the guys that created and molded this system into a contract
I have no seniority now in the current category I am in. Downside is that if I leave I will never get back.. well not for a long time anyway.. and believe it or not I am not complaining. Anyway, I'm not arguing the merits of a monthly bid.. I just don't want the split block/reserve thingy.
