Edit: and I am not sure your point bringing up Frontier and Allegiant.

I think he misunderstood you to mean a throwaway for us.

For us, every job is precious, for the pilots' families and those who depend on them. For management it is just a variable cost item.

This would offset the job loss.

Since we only asked for 4:00 per day of vacation in 2018, I am opposed to pay Banding.

Since Bastian revealed that he is returning almost $4 Billion annually to the shareholders, I oppose and concession or change that would reduce positions, jobs, staffing.

I disagree. Their model is fixable with new large jets which bring in the revenue to increase pay for pilots. Frontier, Allegiant, SkyWest and even Endeavor are doing fine for now.

Their model is mostly broken only if we hold the line. Let us give them Delta jobs.

Not a throwaway item; more valuable to us than the company.

DCI is a failed model. They can't staff the ones they have. Throwaway item.

They can have buddy passes and bump up the downtown hotels to 14hrs.

And that solution solves managements problem.... in our favor.
