No, I don't think they should strike. But everyone gave them so much grief over their old contract that they had because they got the best deal they could have while times were good. Who doesn't want to get the most money they can out of their employer? Then they cut wages and the pilots agreed, then people .....ed because they didn't give cuts sooner. Now the airline wants (and I admit needs) more cuts. You can't blame the pilots for wanting to minimize cuts as much as possible and try to get more back if and when times get better.

And, almost everyone here doesn't trust Delta management. So, why should the pilots? I will say one thing about the bottomline figures, it's kind of a reverse Enron situation, I think they make it look like they are losing more money than they really are. Afterall, how many quarters in a row can you post billion dollar losses?
