I think that's their plan... after they spent the past 5 years trying to lower our expectations.

Look. When we first came out of BK, I have absolutely no doubt that the vast majority of this pilot group would have supported a push for restoration. Maybe not all at once... but I have no doubt that this would have been an acceptable objective to the vast majority of our pilots. All we needed was some good leadership. Instead, DALPA spent all these years going along as if our new BK standard of living is a new baseline. No apparent objective of restoration. No sense of urgency. In addition to that, we've had communication after communication (along with numerous posts on the DALPA Forum and here from the usual suspects) poo-pooing the idea of restoration. I'm sure you're not going to agree with my assessment of the situation but I think it's pretty darn spot on.
