Next, we gave 32 and then 14% paycuts, give or take. Plus the pension. Vaca, paid leave, we gave, yada, yada. We've given and where did it get us?

Don't give anything that won't snap back. These guys are always playing chess, they're looking at survival, because they want their stock options 2 years from now. If Delta survives and becomes number one, they'll claim it was all them and pay themselves accordingly. Any you'll be asking for hotel rooms for recurrent.

C) There is a reason Delta has fought tooth and nail to keep unions off the property. It costs them a premium in the good times, but in the bad times it gives them a huge advantage over the competition. This is a slot machine that over time they put quarters into, and when their mortgage came due and they ran out of money, they pulled that handle and redeemed all the goodwill they’d built up. Delta cleverly had Congress limit “pay rates”, not pay hours. Last week they pulled that handle by reducing pay hours by 25% for non-cons and American and United are now looking over at Delta in envy, as the coins are falling, lights flashing, and sirens at full steam. GOTTCHA!
Meanwhile, by the looks of the comments on today’s Townhall, non-cons are just now beginning to understand. As the few comments such as, “Will I be furloughed when I come back from leave?” “Are my HSA rewards gone?” and “How can American afford to pay their flight attendants 50hour SILs?” are being drowned out by comments such as, “Delta Strong!”, “Bastian for President!”, “What is the CARES Act?”, and “I want that shirt!”
Keeping unions off the property and showering employees with praise and “goodies”, is now an obvious complete success. Congrats to management. Smartest team around.
