Every single pilot wants to work for Delta and they got a deal. What incentive did Delta management have to negotiate when they have 10k apps on file?

I ask myself this question all the time. Here is another one, why did Allegiant get a deal? I dont think they were on the verge of being released?

Allegiant could have been closer to release than we know. It was being dragged out by management. That's really the only reason I can think of. Their business model is not really detrimental to US commerce, so I really think they could have been released.

As far as Delta goes, I just think their management doesn't want labor strife and values their pilots as an important cog in a big machine, unlike the buffoons running this place.

Agreed. I'm assuming we are still small enough to be released

Fair enough, we are never happy during and after contract negotiations.

Who is making an effort now? I get out when I get out. I don't go slow but I don't go fast. It happens when it happens. I have zero give a ****s left. The jet blue LOA was the last straw for me. I'm on phase two.[/QUOTE]

Lots and lots of short sighted captains adjust our time to show on time and then fly at CI99 to help out.

How can guys be so willing give away the little leverage we have?

I don't think you will catch any 26%ers helping the company out.
