Some Mo' Fo' Welfare for Delta pilots!
What a disgrace, let the place fold......
can only blame 9/11, LCC's, and the big evil oil conspircay so much folks!..
Who would have thought? Pompous old DAL sounding like a whiny liberal...

Delta can file Ch.11 if they want government endorsed protection

IAHERJ said:Those subsidies are a totally different form of hand out. They are in place to benefit the consumer, not an airline. Those could have been offered to a host of other airlines but AirTran sought them out.
I fully expect the city of ATL and the state of Georgia to come forward with a number of proposals that will help keep Delta operating. Can't blame them a bit. I don't want to see Delta people negatively affected by this as I have numurous friends working and retired from Delta. I just hope we at AirTran could expect some help down the road should we be in the same predicament.

Lets see if we can get both the State of Georgia and the federal government to lighten up on the puntive taxes that are a huge part of any airline ticket...not just for Delta but for every airline. That's a big part of what's dragging the industry down.General Lee said:If you ever unfortunately have to go this road I bet you would. The State of Georgia has to look at the possible outcomes of any bankruptcy. Delta is one of the largest employers in the State, and I can see why they would be nervous. I think Georgia would try to help any large employer. It is very political down here.
Bye Bye--General Lee
