OK - Let me see if I got this right because I must be missing something.

Our Joint contract sucks and most FNW guys are taking home less money - even though they now have a higher pay-scale. This is because of crappy work rules - yet you guys voted overwhelmingly for it.

This is also Delta Souths fault - you guys voted in the Joint contract at higher numbers than DAL but that is also DAL's fault because of ............? Hell I don't even know why thats Delta Souths fault.

It seems I remember hearing something about DAL N guys didn't have a choice, something about being left behind, but if it was a merger of equals (which I pretty much believe) how did you end up at a disadvantage?

It seems to me voting for something and then complaining you didn't have a choice seems disingenuous at best. There is really no good reason here, but who cares anyway? It passed and we are both stuck with it - lets blame management not each other.

This whole DAL South vs. DAL North crap is getting pretty old. Both companies were in BK. Both Pilot groups got screwed. Both groups are predominantly made up of great guys even though the law of averages would have us believe that a few turds must be in here somewhere, on both North and South. Neither set of work rules were totally superior to the other groups - both had good and bad.

So why are we arguing about this stuff now?
