MD bidding. Could Delta publish bid packages?
 
Just thought of this and its probably too late, but could Delta do this to help us make an informed bid based on what trips to expect? May and June bid packs are worthless now.....

Didn't say they do. but certainly previous bid packages would give us a historical perspective. Doesn't hurt to see them does it? Why so obtuse?

Has this management team done anything to help the pilot group? If they provide information that reduces fear and anxiety which are their 2 primary weapons for extracting concessions. This is a very real economic crisis which barring any further black swans, will end in 2-3 years. The company knows this and they are using fear to try and extract decades of concessions.

The July schedule was published last night. TravelNet May be your best option right now.

They can try if they want - however, using history as a guide. Post 9-11, we were in an active contract and took three annual pay raises. Then pre-bankruptcy we took a 32 % pay cut and work rule concessions. In bankruptcy, another 14.5 % pay cut and more work rule concessions. The point is - until bankruptcy was a realistic and imminent threat, work rules and pay did not change. We are in a much stronger financial position than post 9-11 and will come out of this. No concessions!

Are we still getting PS to work? Might be commuting going forward.

OP...I understand how that could help in the decisions people face.

I think there are a couple months of archived bid packs on John Bell's site. Better than nothing.
