If DALPA is the one representing Delta Pilots in negotiations all its members are behind them getting the best contract. There should be no excuses: GET IT RIGHT. If you do then there is the proof we need. Walk the walk is all I'm saying. Do so and you will be rewarded. Don't and suffer the consequences. I expect results, not excuses. Do not let me down.
Very well said, Jesse. My feelings exactly. The average SWA Captain makes over $230K/year. If my pay as a narrowbody domestic Captain is not going to be at least $230K/year on day one of the new contract, it's a solid NO. It's time to either **** or get off the pot for DALPA. I'm tired of the excuses. Got tired a long time ago.
