Anyone who is even thinking that trading PS for rates in section 6 is a good idea is nuts. How about we negotiate our PAY and get an agreement. If they want to change PS we can talk about that once we have a contract signed.
We don't need to fund our contract gains with givebacks in PS when RA has seen his pay increase 700% and Delta is pulling in more than a BILLION per quarter.

NWA was a ticket broker too. As a business owner you have to ask yourself, "If I can make 50% profits with minimal liability and less use of own assets using partnerships, should I?" The answer is HELL YES! That is why RA is getting paid what he is getting paid. As long as RA is in town, our mainline international growth will be in the form of network growth via JVs, code shares and investments like GOL, AM, VA, KLM/AF. Am I missing anything?

What are you missing? China is on the horizon. Just think how well those Chinese carriers could feed our domestic network

I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm almost fine with more large RJ's......it's the JV's that I'm worried about.
The RJ problem will self correct itself in the next few years with the shortage of pilots to fly them, the JV deals mean no more WB growth for Delta.

Yep. Look at the MSP base.
That's the future of Delta if we roll over on JVs.
A domestic 757 base with a couple token 767 flights...soon to be eliminated in favor of a 737 base. I was there the other day and AF brought in an A340 for the CDG run.
To be honest, I'm fine with that. As long as we get a sh!tload MORE MONEY and MORE TIME OFF. Otherwise, RA can take his JVs (under which he has proven to be as untrustworthy as Iran) and shove them.

True dat...especially with the "drive an 18 wheeler through it proctections our JV has...now apply that to the small end "you fly some big RJs if we can have a bunch more at DCI".
Why would DALPA want in any way to hurry a deal...time value of money and all that being on our side...especially RE profit sharing.
I'd much rather live with status quo (at least for this fiscal year) rather than fund a COLA raise with PS and productivity concessions.

Please, please, please....no more large RJs unless they are flown by Delta pilots on the Delta seniority list for Delta wages.
