What is the incentive for a company to respond to requests for higher pay, scope, improved work rules, etc.?
Great question. There are many possible reasons and not all apply to every situation, but I will attempt to discuss a few of them. Basically it is a cost benefit analysis. The primary job of most corporations is to maximize profits – not minimize costs. If a cost increase can produce a greater increase in profits management will embrace it.
3. A Pilot group with a positive relationship with management can be a huge operational advantage to an airline.
5. Retroactive Pay. Precedent has been set at DAL for any pay raises to be retroactive to the amendable date. This helps to minimize any financial benefits the company may achieve by dragging things out for years.
6. Even if we have difficulty in getting released to actually strike the talk of a potential future strike along with informational picketing can be a financial drag for an airline. Think about it, would you book your airline flight to your next cruise on an airline that is actively picketing with talks of a strike in the news? Even if only a small fraction of potential customers book away it can cost the airlines millions.

Speaking of that. With Falcon and Curly both on hiatus until some future time, who wants to play the role of falcon here? Who wants to play the role of a moak?
I'll do it for the day...
Screw you no voters. How's your paycheck? How's that new contract huh? You really think you can get a new contract without concessions? You guys are morons. Go play in traffic. You will never get as big a payraise with your people as you got with us and i will be cheering against you the whole way.
And even if you did you'd have to do it with even bigger concessions then we had because reasons. Keep calm and orange lanyards on. Oh and remember these numbers, 21, 26, 33, 48, 73, 14. What is that? It's the non winning mega millions numbers from last week. Why did I post them? Because they don't mean ****. Just like any other number or out by a Moakie so **** you no voters.
This is hard. I give up.

I know it all! You are all idiots if you disagree. I am on the inside and can't tell you why you are wrong due to confidentiality and it's for your own good. You are never going to be successful unless I am leading you because I am friends with management and only I know how to get you free toilet paper. I...
Yup. I give up.

I'm the smartest guy in the room! When I fart, it smells like roses and usually is on the top 40 list within a week. We will never see the 190. Delta stock is about to tank. Oil is headed to $150/barrel. Narita is already closed you just don't know it. China Eastern is painted just like delta. Beyoncé deserved that Emmy. I'm having lunch with management. You're stupid!
