Well all should stand firm on 200% pick up on everything, 15 days of minimum, all long call reserve, DTW and MSP must have increases in flying, god knows these two airports or the center of our universe all other flying is meaningless. This is our only option to get ahead.
Well we could probably just wear our hats, give gate announcements, have a positive attitude and get hired by Delta two years after upgrade... but that is to simple, lets fight instead!
This is a dangerous attitude to have and makes it obvious ones lack of knowledge of the history between Delta Air Lines and its regionals. Simply put, you fight Delta, you lose (remember Comair?). This "No Flow, Vote No" movement has got to stop. Those of us who have witnessed the history with delta and the regionals know if you play ball you may get something good out of it, but what ultimately makes Delta act as someone else already put is when they are backed into a corner. Things didn't get better here in late 2014 until staffing levels went critical to where the 900 operation was threatened. We got retention bonuses! The bleeding stopped. Delta will not do a flow until they have no other choice and that means we go staffing critical again or delta starts to struggle filling their classes which is possible in a few years. Fighting and pushing for it now will only get the Delta hammer brought down on us.
Oh whoareyou311 ready for your displacement to ATL?! FYL!
PS...Upon reading urbans message a few more times again I will admit that since it is so off the wall the whole post could be satire/sarcasm. I don't think many at all can remotely think that is realistic to expect in a possible new contract.
