Personal opinion here, and I agree with your characterization of the NN. If the TA read like the NN read, we would never see it, it wouldn't leave the MEC.

How many TA's in the last 20 years at NWA/DAL have not made it past the respective MEC's?

It's in the contract survey results. What you asked for many moons ago is what is rationally being negotiated now. While I have the utmost faith that you all made the following, and only the following demands, your barraging your reps with emails just NOW demanding massive scope improvements is probably only serving to muddy the waters for the NC. I can see it now "Umm TO. That's not what the survey results said. They said they just want to fly them for PNCL when they get furloughed".

Demands List:
1) Every RJ flown by a Delta hired pilot (notice I said hired - not merged/flowed/integrated)
2) My pay today plus 40% tomorrow.

If anything, the possibility of expedited negotiations existed because the company saw our pithy "yes-man" demands from the actual survey and while laughing inside concocted a brilliant scheme to bait us into rapidly paced negotiations to prevent everyone from jumping on the flavor of the week contract negotiating band wagon which only serves to bog things down. You filled out the survey. You did so with the thought in mind that you were getting yours. Bet none of you filled it out like I did. With the thought that some day Delta Air Lines would be a place I'd like my son or daughter to work as a pilot.

So I hope - sincerely hope - that all you lurkers out there filled out your contract survey with something more creative than more laundry money and screw reserves. Because unfortunately, other than the 22.5% you probably asked for and access to the junior left seat of an RJ, I think we've seen all we'll see this round.

Anyone who selfishly and nonchalantly filled out their contract survey then suddenly changed their mind when they read the growing storms of scope recapture demands brewing in the forums.

And calling it an epistle is far too kind a gesture for someone that's going straight to H E double hockey sticks like me.

A lot, like the agreement in whole. I did not like the NNP but also will wait to see the entire TA before I fully analyze it and state the pros and cons.
