Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
I hate to say it, but Ed O'Neil might be cooler than Bill Murray...
So if you honor her, you've got to honor THE MAN.

I'm not even sure why you would think that a bunch of guys who have stepped up to the plate to represent and make efforts to improve the pay and working conditions of the pilots of Delta Air Lines would be doing anything OTHER than working to maximize the amount of compensation and benefits for the pilots of Delta!
Do you walk into the airport and start announcing to everyone around you that you are about to go fly a plane? NO. It's patently obvious that is what your intentions are, there isn't a need to parade around and rub it in people's faces*.
They ARE working towards improving our situation...every day!.... It's just that 15 months before a contract is amendable and the pilots have not been surveyed is not the appropriate time or place to go off and start beating your war drums. I have no doubt we will see the big guns come out, but they have to be unleashed at the right time for maximum effect. It's that "don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" thing. I advocate staying informed, volunteering to help when able, setting up your strike fund, and most of all patience, Grasshopper.
*Unless of course you are that FO at CAL who used to stand in a major intersection in the EWR concourse with the Tom Cruise Ray-Bans and just let everyone know that he's a "real pilot".

Tell you what... If our opener is for full restoration (C2K+COLA) with significant get-backs on scope. And if we end up with C2012 with our domestic narrowbody guys averaging over $230K for Captains and over $140K for F/O's (like SWA) while at least holding the line on our current scope. If either of those things happen, the steak dinner with all the trimmings is on me. You just name the time and place!
Now that's the Moscow I know and love. The Beatles were right, "Moscow girls make me scream and shout"
