My vote will be NO if we are not awarded top of the industry pay/benefits rates. DL has profiteered for more than a decade on our mediocre contracts while enjoying record profits and industry awards that we front line employees ensure by operational excellence.
Let me make this clear, mother Delta is not going to take care of us like in the old days. It is up to US to demand what we are worth and consequently, deal with whatever we as a group are willing to accept. It's a business deal ladies and gentlemen, not a warm fuzzy family relationship. Ed and his group will take the last penny that we do not claim. Claim every penny and if the next TA is lacking in any way, you owe it to yourselves and your fellow colleges to vote NO. If you decide to accept less than you are worth, it falls on you, not the company as they just did another outstanding job of exploiting our profession - AGAIN.
Stay strong (and thirsty) my friends.

Hopefully a positive outcome will show sooner than later. I personally really enjoy it here, but I know 7 guys who went elsewhere after being offered training dates, 1 left after indoc!
