All we ask is that you graciously allow, as well as celebrate appreciatively, our network's ability to grow vicariously through you so our management team can use another airline to fly its passengers without actually doing anything. Because that, really, is what strong long term labor really aspires to.

Delta is not saving anybody. Besides what Delta is doing is accentuating what NWA started.
NWA was in bed with ALASKA, and now DELTA. I dont get it either. I wish we can all grow organically and stop diluting our culture and career progress.

It took airline management a long time, since deregulation, but they have finally figured out, there's no money in 'organic growth'. That's why they wanted all those code shares in the first place.
Organic growth costs a lot of money, and then you have to compete with someone else in the same market, and that means fare wars, and that means lost revenue.
We are in the 'consolidatin phase' that should have happened a long time ago, it might have prevented all the bankruptcies.
