In the big picture, both contracts are pretty similar. But imagine that American has an addendum that they require 2-5 days of unpaid volunteer work away from home every single month for the rest of your career, and you’ll have to contribute $100-$500 of after-tax money every month to the union hotel fund. Are there enough other good things about American that would make the contract with the commuter addendum worthwhile?

While both companies carry astronomical debt loads, American comes in first with a net debt of ~$40B vs Delta’s ~$19B. Think of all the creative ways MGMT will finally be compelled to address that pesky debt issue once they can’t use COVID as an excuse anymore. Fun!

Not even a question.....DL...drive to work...sit short call in your house in your boxers....pad the wallet by picking up short notice greenies....use the extra money to fly you and the wife/girlfriend to International vacations.

Sounds about right. If you can sit short call, while doing your best Al Bundy on the couch, you be winning in life.

I recommend taking either the wife OR girlfriend to international vacations, but not both. Unless, of course, they’re into that…
