As long as you want to bring up history, March 2001: Thanks for the strike checks.... oh, that's right every other airline pilots sent checks except for ONE ~ Delta. I take that back, there was one Delta pilot who sent in a check. One! And for the record, a majority of Comair pilots voiced their opinion to JC on this matter and he tried to use the DL furloughs as negotiation chips with DALPA anyway.
You're a big A-hole for even trudging this up.
Well that one Delta pilot must have been me, I sent in two checks from my own bank account in addition to voting in favor of assessments, I also gave a striking CMR pilot, who I never personally knew, my buddy passes so that relatives could attend his wedding.
I think the rest of your spin is total BS, what check did the pilots from UAL, AAA, AWA, NWA send? Oh that's right, it came in the form of strike benefits from day one, just like the DAL pilots sent.
