I would recommend all the engage podcast episodes. Lots of good info.

True enough. The in favor vote was around 97% if I recall correctly.

C2K was signed just in time for 9/11, SARS, Iraq, Michelle Burns selling DLs fuel hedges for 80 million that cost the company over 2 billion, mgmt bailing with their SERP money, Katrina, and bankruptcy. It WAS a great contract but alas was flushed down the **********r post haste.

Hope springs eternal. Easy yes.

Yes vote for me. I don’t know anyone who’s not a yes vote. I’ve gotten three inverse assignment calls this weekend. The first I can remember getting this year. I have pulled my blanket green slip out and from the calls I assume alot of others have as well.

I just got another IA call as I wrote this. Good job guys!

Everyone I know has stopped as well. Most everyone has a huge strike fund setup and are just generally fatigued from work. 15+ days a month out of a suitcase is my max. 22+, what is the point..

The Engage podcast made a "yes" vote easy.

Those things take time, care and effort to produce. Very professional, establish a sense of trust.

(Honestly, the stock buybacks alone were enough though)

Excellent recap of a really crappy time. For anyone who is interested in a deeper dive into some of the management shenanigans during BK - this book is a must, and a fairly easy read. The author actually describes some of the then managements actions as worse for Delta than 9-11 which is a pretty powerful statement.

Logged on for the first time in a few years to say I also helped crash the servers in my rush to vote “in favor” immediately after I got the email.

Also, just want to pass word of caution, as rhetoric gets more heated around this subject, and in light of the fact that I read in either this or the “pay offer” thread about whether or not the company reads this board or cares: they do. Someone on this site doxxed me to management/CPO years ago, which is why I’ll be logging out again.
