I see $8 billion a real possibility in 2023.
3q will be delta’s highest revenue quarter ever

This is correct as EB gloated about this during the Lcp meeting early in the week.

The money is there to pay us properly.

vote and bring it up with every pilot you fly with.

You need to vote yes. There are months if not years for the company to come around but the vote tally needs to be in and strong. A yes vote does not mean a strike. You are simply giving the union authorization to declare a strike. Before anything else the mediator must release us to self help. After that a 30 day cooling off period at a minimum. Probably a PEB after the cooling off.

It’s a lot more than that……

Sure, but the pilot group isn’t smart enough to know that. Or at least that’s what the company insinuates EACH and EVERY TIME they put ridiculously false and disingenuous information out to the masses.

I honestly can’t believe how many pilots are bending over backwards for an employer that continually bends us over. Have a little self respect, my brothers and sisters!

Just imagine how high it could have been had the operation been properly manned!

for me, it’s not about bending over backwards to help anyone except my own pocket. I take them for every dime I can get, for my own selfish purposes

That would be nice but have you been following the economic news lately? The world economy is literally breaking as we speak, the British pension system just got what amounts to a margin call. Did you see the inflation numbers in the Netherlands? China housing loans put the US 2008 ordeal to shame. Russia is literally threatening to use a "tactical" nuclear weapon which is 200 times stronger than the bomb dropped in Hiroshima. The US Federal Reserve is years behind the curve in their tightening. They have straight out said expect pain. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see the economy supporting those kinds of numbers. I'm just hoping we get through the year with small profits and no downsizing. We saw how quickly things can change for the good and bad during Covid. The economy could wreck us this next year.
