[QUOTE=Otto Lilienthal;1913486]

"By the way, you think Richard Anderson wouldn't try to mend fences if the numbers start slipping and stock is trending downward as a result?"


Bravo, Otto, you totally get it. To much to loose for Delta. They have big commitments to top shareholders and wall street, but more to a big deal I think is in the works, On YOUR BACK.They would be behind closed doors in 5 mins imo

"I don't know what the outcome of the vote will be, but clearly I hope and pray it will be voted down.

As I've said before this should never have been TA'd. I have contacted everyone with whom I'm connected. Email, linkedin, phone, etc. there is nothing more I can do except vote no.

If it's voted down, we start with a clean slate and do section 6 the way it's supposed to be done. No quick back room Donatelli deals."


ahhhhh, you mean Donatelli won't be up for National election ?

There is miscalculation on the part of the company here and significant squandered goodwill. Anger is a natural response. The anger is somewhat misplaced IMO. It should fall squarely at the feet of the people who we pay 1.9% of our income to for representation.

I am still in awe at how much we were lied to leading up to this.
Not sure I could come up with a good argument against any of that Scambo. But writing a letter like that is out of bounds. Sorry. It is. Again, if it isn't, sign your name to it and send it in and let us know how it turns out for you.

You do have a reading comprehension problem. Read my first paragraph.

Let's get straight to it. I double dog dare you to sign your name to a letter like that.

But call it what you will, you do not talk to your employer like that. Standing by for the "But I don't work for Richard Anderson" quips
No, in fact you make sure he feeds from the profit sharing trough before the minions have a chance. Well, at least this TA feels that's the route to go.

No, I read it. I get that it is a rant. It's still in print.

Why the eye rolling man? GG is absolutely right. The TA language explicitly calls for management's share comes first, then PTIX is calculated. It means the leaders eat first. Exactly the opposite of what I learned about leadership.

Ha! And I said it to you face to face, too.


I agree with you in a very small way about the letter. I wouldn't tell Anderson he was a bad leader, or the things I decided I would, or wouldn't do. Mainly, because it's counter-productive Mainly, because I know no one is perfect.

But, I would have no problem telling him, face to face, that the term within this TA was a bad mistake. All it does is insult an employee group that has bent over backwards for Delta. It's punitive, and concessionary, instead of positive and rewarding.

I've "met" him several times, and he remembered me each time, after the first, and I don't think he would get all bent out of shape about it.

He's not that kind of guy. If the TA is voted down, I hope he stays and gets involved in the negotiations, personally.

Now, as for the screamer, my fellow Chicagoan? All I can say is, he must be a Cubs fan. I have my thoughts as to how he would handle criticism, too. In fact, I've seen it on video.

If the TA is voted down, I believe he has got to go.

Good news is he'll do great in the door removal business. His slogan could be: "Nobody gets unhinged quicker than me."
