The mantra pushing this LOA was "Do it once/do it right.". Unfortunately it didn't quite work out that way.

Hah! Do It Once, Do It Twice! JM was the MEC Chair for that one.

He agreed to freezing the retirement and a 32.5% pay cut, the E170/175 at DCI and gutting work rules.
John is very intelligent. I suspect that given the funding reality on the frozen plan he would have done what Moak did. Try and extract the maximum value from the termination for every pilot.
USAIR fought their termination to the end and ended up with nothing except the PBGC minimums. Their plan was better funded then ours.

He can go toe to toe with our management like no one else.

His resume stands alone.
Which part? The largest pay cuts in the history of Delta (32.5%) or allowing the E170/175 at DCI?
The funny thing however is I would be fine with JM as chairman. He understands reality and would do a good job. He also is very intelligent. There have been a few names thrown out that would scare me to death in that regard. Ken Watts or JM would work for me.

The sad truth is, just about everything scares you to death. That's your problem sailingfun. It colors your outlook on everything.

So you think the guy that agreed to the 30% payout would be a winner?

Yeah, anything that doesn't fit your agenda is always "unintelligible". Get over yourself.
