Since 2000, Delta has posted $3.26 billion in losses mainly because competition reduced fares and revenue.

An extra $85 million for pilots is a drop in the bucket compared to the $3.26 BILLION in debt resulting from other sources. Labour is almost always the biggest expense for a company, and one of the easiest for large companies to play around with.
If Delta is having financial trouble, it only shows that they are poor negotiators, don't have good enough accountants to show the bad stuff in a good light or they are inept at attracting investors/customers. It's the free market at it's finest.
You work for them, Ronnie. Are you part of the union? I'm guessing that you aren't skilled enough at whatever you do to belong in one. Why don't you just go to your supervisor and ask for a pay decrease to do your part for the good of the company?
