While I agree with the last few pages of posts, I still think that maybe Dalpa is doing what we asked them to do. As far as council 44 goes, our communication has increased dramatically. Like it or not, they are communicating. We asked for it.

In regards to the lack of info right now....we asked for it. We wanted our union to listen to us. The responded by giving us a contract survey. We can fight about how poor the survey is but at least we have one. The union has kept fairly quiet while we do our survey. Again, we asked them to listen to us. Lets fill out our survey's and provide the input to our union. They are doing exactly what we asked of them.

Don't over think this. If you just look at what we asked them to do on these two issues they are complying with our requests.

Now on to the MCO comment.....

With all the crap that T.O. has gotten from us maybe he thought he was amongst a sympathetic crowd of fellow pilots. We've all been beaten down for 10 years...(except us newbies). He is in a position where 12000+ pilots are venting and he has to listen. Its hard enough to listen to my darn wife let alone 12000 venting pilots!!!!!

Don't call me an apologist. I'm not. I'm just trying to see this junk from every angle. I'd still like to figure out how to sneak into the 4th floor of the training building. I know those new-hires girls need extra special training!!!
