Have you criticized Delta for paying $5 million a year in dues to Airlines For America?
Delta is a private for profit corporation. Their #1 priority is to make a profit and create value for their stakeholders. Why would I cirticize management for doing something that benefits the company? Delta is not in business to provide people with jobs. That's where the disconnect seems to be here. I'm simply not a fan of unions holding labor hostage. And I'm entitled to that opinion. I haven't told any of you that you're not entitled to a pro-labor opinion.
