only the pilots of Delta are unionized and they have and will continue to make concessions.
Uh.......nope.
They won't like it, but IIRC they are still paid slightly above the industry average. I think it's a shame, but they won't really have a choice. It'll come down to a choice of either a moderate negotiated concession or a severe court-ordered one, and other pilots' unions in that situation have taken the lesser hit.

It's a race to the bottom. If/when Delta concessions come through, they will then be below industry average. And then the rest of the airlines will force additional concessions by pleading poverty and then the cycle starts again. Where it will stop, nobody knows.
Employees have to take stand at some point. Make the execs reduce capacity and raise ticket prices.
