We’re the ones who will be here long term - so we’re the ones who will suffer if we make our company worse again. I don’t see the long term win in punishing our customers and ourselves in the long game. So my real question, probably for the MEC too, is how do we not injure ourselves and yet bring this insanity and poor leadership to account? Is it even possible? What matters to them but not to our long term customers?

You may have been an active observer or perhaps a participant in the decisions of the past. Now you’re just sport “complaining” not trying to educate through story, example, or argument.

Try to do better. By all means preach as our history is important, but quantity of words and anger doesn’t make an argument.

The institutional knowledge lost when most, if not all, of the bankruptcy era direct operational experience walked out the door will never be replaced. The new crop of Delta pilots will never know what they don't know. Even the furloughed pilots weren't here voting on this stuff and/or weren't on property when the US Air threat happened. It is the responsibility of the old "now senior" pilots to preach the tactics of management.

Even if the younger generation ignores you with the ear pods, you have to keep telling the stories. Embrace your inner curmudgeon.
They don't know how bad it can get, hopefully they will only know in tales and legends of yore.
