Does this timeline for aircraft delivery seem just a little coincidental with anyone else, or am I reading too much into it? THAT'S RIGHT, THE AIRCRAFT DELIVERY COINCIDES WITH CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS----DALPA?
What the statement is, is the "large dangling carrot" hanging from the 15# weight fishing line. Once the schmuck's in "union-land" are convinced that aircraft deliveries are dependent on a less than optimal "signed" contract, once again, everyone else at Delta (& pmNWA) will have been "bent over at the waist" without even the courtesy of a "reach around".
Enough venting for now. My apologies for posting on the forum when I've had
a "venti" worth of caffeine at Starbuck's.

It's not a dangling carrot. We have old planes, and they need to be replaced eventually. We can call their bluff and take higher pay and better scope, and they will still have to replace the planes anyway.
