Or...maybe shrinking enough to pass muster with another merger, with Delta as the “absorbed” party?
OTOH...Doesn’t look like any other employee groups looking down the barrel of a furlough. Which means Delta wants to grow. Who knows. Kinda early in the day for this brand of cray cray.

Those JVs won’t see money from us, because now everyone is by their own until recovery is achieved. We have planes in order, they will have to use them.
just IMHO

They see this as their chance to get budget/discounted int'l feed to the domestic network. But called me crazy so I guess I am. Consider the above just rantings of a crazy man.
Drum = UNA soon to be furlough and thought to be crazy by .

The "Cray-cray" was self-referencing (i.e., me! -- deltabound is cray-cray). I was not implying, or calling you "cray cray".
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Seriously, I didn't mean this to be a knock against you in any way, shape, or form. Sloppy posting my my part.
