There is one thing that people also have to keep in mind .. I am not one to defend the unions but lets call a Spade a Spade.. Why not for once Top management cut their salaries so that the normal workers who keep the airlines flying be able to live. I hope that most of you are aware that the majority of Flight Attendants in order to live have to get Food Stamps!.. I have many friends who are busting their backs at Delta (and other airlines) as a profession and have families to support! They have had salary give-backs and in some cases have had their medical insurance either terminated or they have to now pay 80% of the cost and the coverage is nothing. The main reason the airlines are now in deep trouble is that many of the so called established airlines had too many TOP Management people and also when they were flush with money they (the airlines) spent it like there was no tomorrow. Now it is time for Top Management to do their part and give back! Regards, John W Swiman P.S. I know I will get a lot of flack for writing this, but it had to be said!
