Could NOT DISagree with you more.
The devil is soooo buried in the details.....in JUST the SCOPE section alone (DAL+$1).....DAL pilot's, please feel free to chime in.
Are we supposed to coddle to Jeff as he is already 'airing his dirty laundry' via the company composed website that they launched containing this POS????
OH, I forgot....or did you NOT remember from POS'02??? "Please sir, may I have another"??

Bingo-especially in this economy, most people reading it will unfortunately will see passing on an "industry leading contract" as greed. Pax will most often take out frustrations on the front line employees. All I hear about in airports are delays, airfares going up, full flights, etc. They associate these issues with those they interact with on the planes. Until they live the life, they would never care to understand.

Exactly SoCal, disputing the effects the public had during summer 2K
is to ignore one of the biggest pressures put on mgmt. in some time.
Needing to educate flyers is part of the information/media/involvement process.
Not easy, but well worth the effort.

Quote from said article.
"Clearly, management hoped to have a collective agreement in place by now. Yet after almost a year of negotiations, the two sides remain vastly far apart on economic issues. The last proposals submitted by each side differed by about $1.3 billion a year, according to a United website devoted to the negotiations."
Notice how the slant of the article makes management look like they are want something and the pilots are asking for too much??
