Oil prices are on such a slide that they may hit lows found in 1997 ($25/barrel).

With oil possible that low, we want guarantees that the 50 seat numbers will go LOWER. Also, lower oil would mean more profits potentially, meaning more profit sharing potential. That supposed cut of 5% from 15% to 10% under 2.5 billion wouldn't even be a player if profits climbed north of $2.5 billion. Hello 20% profit sharing!

Very nice spin job Bill. But if we are getting 15% of up to $2.5B, and with the TA, we get 10% of up to $2.5B, thats a 33% CUT in profit sharing as I'm sure you know but refuse to believe it.

And besides, wasn't one of the things the NC stated was that pilots wanted "guaranteed money"? With oil that low, dont you think we should try to renegotiate?

Probably not..............

"Supposed"????

And contrary to some talking head article, oil is only tracking down with the broader economy. Oil will find support when the S&P finds support, then it will track back up with the S&P.

March 4, oil at $105 a barrel. June 4, oil at $82. Think I read somewhere that DAL saves $100 million on fuel costs for every $1 drop in the cost of a barrel.

You do the math.

Thats the real reason Delta wants a quick agreement. They know you won't accept the 33% reduction in profit sharing in a year or two when profits are up.
