No Herkflyer, your particular world-view of "surrender early and avoid the rush" is shared by very few others. Most Delta pilots are against the complete appeasement you routinely espouse.

Very debatable. Lots of domestic pilots report much greater fatigue as a result.

Ridiculous and pure denial on your part. The JV's are an unmitigated disaster to pilot jobs. We've either rapidly shrunk to the allowable minimums, or rapidly shrunk below them. Unbelievable.

Nothing to do with clinging to history. Everything to do with shrinking immediately to the new lower minimum allowed by the new JV agreement. Exactly as many of us predicted would happen...despite the huge sales job performed by DALPA.
