Aviation Daily: Comair & ASA pilots try again

[MedFlyer]

The reason it has taken awhile is because a quick pilot pay cut would NOT have scared the creditors to come on board and give us other needed cuts. Only have pilot pay cuts would have equated to a "bandaid"--and 15 months down the road we probably would have been in the same situation.

Not long ago, you were screaming that DL should just take whatever cuts it could get from the pilots to save money immediately. Now, you are saying that a quick pilot pay cut is not good. So are you saying that management's strategy of not accepting DALPA's lowball offer was smart? Apparently, Jerry's "double talk" is rubbing off on you.....

The employesses at DL have already taken a pay cut. They have to pay a lot more each month in health care. Thus less money in their pockets. Plus they loose a few payout options on the pension after 2007. Pay cuts in the future, Well, no one really knows. Look at US Air. Mgt is going back for more cuts.

I knew it, Greenjeans and the pilots are in kahoots.
