Ok, so we aren't shrinking, we're just not growing as much. I was wondering how some could suggest that we are shrinking when we keep increasing the number of pilots on our seniority list.

So it's an industry thing, not a contract scope thing, got it. Thanks.

It would be nice to have Aeromexico JV language. Certainly, as you suggest, time is not on our side. What is the MEC doing about it?

I just went off your original statement where you said we were reducing capacity.

Yes you may, in general terms an active Delta pilot and ALPA member in good standing.

Ok, how about specific terms. MEC, NC or SME?

Is Dickson promising top pay, which means pay rates, or top compensation, which includes PS? That would be a break from his past statements. I believe he's got a JD.
