Delta's pilots, before Chapter 11, already gave up almost 50% of combined pay and benefits, according to a Delta FO, with whom we talked in Newark about a week ago. Is that not a major chunk?
Whether that includes cuts into future retirement, I have no idea.
Union pay is not the problem.
The problem now will be the bloated fees for over-priced bankruptcy attorneys and CPAs. United has paid about $10,000,000 per month for these jackals and sharks. Per month.
