You're the one who brought up the subject of who "negotiated" the non-contract employees profit sharing. Now you are avoiding a topic you brought up. I don't know how long you have been around Delta but it doesn't sound like its been that long if you don't know about the unwritten "me too" clause that has existed at Delta for decades.

I can agree with you on your first and last sentences.

It'll be 10 years in 6 days, Denny. I don't know about the "unwritten me too clause". Explain it to me.

Good point, Carl. We should have used the APA technique. No pay raises AND no profit sharing! Yeah, that's the strategy!

There is a huge spectrum of possibilities between APA's recent dysfunction on one end and LM's management friendly engagement on another.

Please teach your pony a new trick.

That plane might be able to hit both coasts from there, like MSP. He did specifically say "45 MD90s.". Take that for what it's worth, a rumor.
