The truth can hurt.

It presented a opportunity for Delta. Should the union help or hinder when those types of opportunities come up?

Hiring was significantly curtailed during a time it didn't have to be, just because some thought it could be when they knew it wasn't going to work and they just watched it happen.
The real opportunity was our pairings got trashed at the same time staffing went to redline both of which were completely self caused and 100% preventable.

The pace this summer was ridiculous. I wonder how much that had to do with the tragedy in JFK. How much overtime was worked there? How many were they shorthanded? You can't ignore the culture and on-time mandate that adds pressure to the system. How many times has each one of us personally witnessed a request to release the brake?
But there's no problem... metrics are great. It's those lazy pilots "dwelling" all over the place.

I know on some level this all comes down to which team do you support. I haven't seen so many captains with the long stare into nothing saying things like "the summer is almost over, just gotta keep on going" before. It sure seems like this was remarkably different than last year.

If on the other hand there is simply a reduction in GS requests of say 20% and none of the above is happening I doubt the company will have any luck getting relief via the courts.
