Nu,
If that's a reply to my post, then you misread the intent. I think our current MEC is doing a good job. Frustration is being vented the way it should be, towards this management, who operates Delta jets only if some other outsourcing opportunity is not available. Our large RJ's are maxed out (255). Our JV is beyond its agreed limits (which is allowed due to the temporarily suspended enforcement window).
It isn't that Delta is not selling tickets. It isn't that they are not making money. It isn't that they are not moving people ... they are doing it all without the participation of the Delta pilots ... I have a problem with that. Support for our bargaining agent, our MEC and our Reps is the best way to (hopefully) restore some of that work to Delta's pilots.
... as far as "manning up" I'm open to suggestions. Legally, there is not a whole lot we can do. When I see our LGA flying going to ALPA bustin' GoJets I see no reason not to call it what it is.
