Oh wow you are not sarcastic.
Do you think is is ok to remove trips for FOs to bid?
Do feel it is ok to just JV our job away?
And regarding PS. RETAIN? We should retain it all.

Just saying what needs to be said.
People are going to fixate on the Section 3 pay rate increases, and it is an increase. The rest be damned. I think it's an ugly pay raise all things considered.

But I'm rather melancholy about the whole thing, I think it will pass unless all hell breaks loose in the next few hours. I was stunned the CDO thing got shot down the way it did a few months back, I guess that could happen again.

Solid TA? It is very simple the reason Delta is making money is because of good decision making and a nice reduction in employee costs in 2005. Why should we not go to 2004 pay on jan 1 without having to give up stuff. The money only comes out of the profit that our pay cut created.

What did you all expect? AA +20? That ain't happening in any universe. We ended up with AA +15. Damn, that isn't enough?

Actually I'm waiting for one of you to say "that isn't true, PS isn't guaranteed." Which I will say sure is according to everyone who says 8,0,3,3. The only way that happens is if we have over 6 billion in profit like 2014. Then they forget that the remaining 11% of PS pays out. ADD it up. AA +15%.

Can't have it both ways. Insisting profits are here forever and not account for the PS in total compensation.

If this is rejected we continue down the path, fine. Next March we have an appointment with the NMB. They will laugh when we say AA +15% just ain't enough. You better drop the crack pipe if you think an iceberg isn't part of that future.

NMB can do math boys and girls. They understand TVM as well. They really don't like Poo Monkeys who play with gasoline cans and matches.

Offer a fair contract and I'm happy to join forces and kick some buttox in this industry.

The middle of your quote, sir, says it all. Well, almost.

Step out of the bubble.
Have you looked at the Facebook comments. I would argue it's a larger sample size and it running overwhelming no..........
