So I'm trying to get my mind straight with this, so with that said I ask, what are we giving up to for these new FAA rules that benefit us, or for that matter the protection of the contract that we're now enjoying? Yes, I've become cynical; at this point I can envision our being asked to "give up" something to keep the contractual protections we'll begin enjoying with these new FT/DT rules.
That right there in bold underscores what is wrong with ALPA. Delta pilots gave up a ton in bankruptcy and are done giving up anything! If they(DALPA/ALPA) don't fix their mindset another group will supplant them.
As for the ALPA apologists, could you just please post the talking points and save us and yourselves the trouble of repeatedly reading them?
