No More Sleepy Ed Comments
I don't think we should refer to the CEO of Delta Air Lines as "Sleepy Ed." Instead I propose that we show proper respect without becoming too formal. My compromise is that from now on he is referred to as "Mr Ed!!"

Yes, he really said that. It is where he earns the name Sleepy Ed. I think the Delta Air Lines Pilots should have an military style naming committee in his honor. Call the snacko and order him a nametag.
Bastian also told the panel that what the company is asking of its pilots could be worse. "One of the things that keeps me up at night is whether we're being aggressive enough," Bastian said. "I wonder whether we should be asking for more, not less. I'm not suggesting we do, but that's the thing I worry about."

Wow, thanks. And duh on my part.

Did Mr Bastian really once say, and I paraphrase here, that what keeps him up at night is not having taken more from the pilots during BK? I've heard that multiple times, but have a hard time believing someone in upper management would go on record as saying something so inflammatory (even if it is what he believes, which I have no doubt it is, regardless of whether he said it or not)

I believe Sleepy equated us to janitors as well during the bankruptcy hearing. The judge shut him down quickly though and told him she doubted the janitors at Delta were as highly trained as the pilots....or something to that effect. I dont have the exact quote but i am sure someone on here has the reference.
