They also have a history of taking hostages. I believe we have some "49ers" from the last contract who are regulars right here on APC.

We need to be careful how we approach the trip parking issue. It is eerily similar to the "no overtime for straight pay" campaign that got the 49ers in trouble. Trip parking is clearly a contract violation but since it has been sanctioned by DALPA it would now be considered status quo. Once the contract is open, posting a picture of Delta pilots stabbing each other would be harassment and illegal concerted activity.
I'm very glad to hear that DALPA is going to do something about trip parking before the Section 6 negotiations begin. We don't want to be negotiating for hostages like last time.

acl's idea of a bank solution would be fine. It solves the problem of guys unable to fill up because their category only has 10 day trips. You could also use a "rolling average" of credit hours over 90 or 180 days. Whatever.
There are fixes available but we have to stop the 100+ hour months that are being built by the trip parking people. That is hurting all of us. Especially when it is so prevalent in the top paying categories.

ALV+15 is in there for a reason. The contract definitely protects us from ourselves as well as from management. Let's respect the contract.

If its true "a fix is in the works" then DALPA deserves kudos.
