Delta strike.....

[flyin4pennies]

It is a shame it has gone this far but management has no one to blame but themselves. If the pilots do strike (and I think they should) it will send a message to the airlines that enough in enough. Unfortunately, management will probably still get bonuses and their golden parachutes while the guys/gals that work everyday will get hurt the most. Somebody needs to make a standy or we are all going to be working for minimum wage with no benefits just so joe blow can buy a $30 ticket.

Right on!!!

Has anyone brought up the notion that management is full of S**T?
How many other airline managements' have said this same thing recently and have gotten what they wanted?

It's time that pilots stand up to management and force them to find another avenue for cost savings. I feel that Delta, once the pilots strike, would initiate a back-up plan and quickly fold to end the strike. If done quickly, their losses would be minimal. A strike would not spell the end, but a long strike would. BIG DIFFERENCE!!

Guys, it's a poker game and management could be bluffing. It's your call!!!

What's been going on with this issue. I haven't heard anything on it in a while.

any old fogies here that were around during the eastern and pan am days?? The situations today seem eerily similar to back then.....

Echos from the past. Eastern Dominated MIA, now it's an AA hub.

I never thought Eastern, PanAm, or Delta would die. I was wrong on the first
two, as for Delta, I make no predictions.
We'll see on the 18th.

On a selfish note, the last thing I need is a whole assload of pilots looking for
a job. The market is saturated enough as it is.

Actually its a game of chicken. The nasty thing about chicken is that if you're asked to play and say no you've both played and lost.

What happens on the 18th?

What happens on the 18th?

A strike if the pilots contract is rejected.

It seems so simple to me. They say a strike will put them out of business. The managers decide whether or not the pilots strike by accepting a contract. So all we're really watching here is whether or not management will put the company out of business.
