I guess my goal of attaining significant improvements across the board, and being willing to fight for those improvements, is somehow at odds with your perverse view of a benevolent, God-like Delta, who, with DALPA at its right hand, will always take care of you.
Folks like you are why we'll never be able to negotiate the contract we want.
Not really. All the ridiculing is self-inflicted. You're pretending that those who don't want to gid rid of ALPA at Delta, by chosing DPA, are somehow against improvements. This presupposes that everything that happened to us (and the rest of the industry) is due to having a poor union, not the leverage and particular financial situation fo the respective companies.
A lot of us agree that some people or policies have failed us, but acknowledge the fact we were negotiating from the business end of the barrel, and wish to move forward now that fortunes have changed. A lot of us want improvements, but don't want to go through the pain of letting Brand X [deleted] things up just to prove that they too can [deleted] things up, and royally too.
A lot of us also know that there is a thread for what you're going after, and are just trying to focus on finding the fine line between enough underboob, and too much of the new rules.
For now, you're getting redundant and tiresome. And ridiculous. All by yourself.
