I mean, to be fair, not a single person voted in a 45% pay cut thinking, "I'm doing this for CM so he one day will have a job." You did it so the company wouldn't go belly up and so you wouldn't have to start over at the bottom of the list somewhere.

There may very well have been no other list to go to.

That’s true but that’s not the point and you know it. You benefitted from the sacrifices of the pilots that were here and had to endure them.

A simple solution to this problem is for DAL to bring all the regional flying back in house. No need to staple any regional to the bottom of the list. Just bring the flying back in house.

Agreed on bringing the flying back in house. Well said. We hope you guys are here one day and eventually become the retirees we speak of. As for the wholly owned part, it doesn’t really hold much sway IMHO. For all intents and purposes we own most of Virgin Atlantic. Should they get benefits above our retirees? What about the folks at the Trainer refinery? Pretty sure we own that. Delta casts its net wide and we own a lot of things. I guess it’s above both of our paygrades though. Delta can unilaterally place emotional support peacocks at S2 unless we put it in the contract. Just my 2 cents.

Just curious, how many wholly owned domestic companies carries DAL customers and employees? You also had 2 opportunities to bring back or keep all your flying in house. First you gave up your scope and then you gave up the flying on the regional aircraft DAL owned after the NWA merger that you had to adjust your pilots contract for.

Have we gotten to the part where pilots suggest they should get higher nonrev priority than FAs and other employees yet?

Not yet but I can see the beginning ripples of it.

Maybe for the retirees.

This right here. Lest we forget. Since nobody has said it yet, I will, since I can't help myself either ;):D Commuting is a choice!:eek:
