SF,

Respectfully, I know what you are talking about. The majority of pilots I have talked with have their expectation managed. They tell me they dont think the company will pay us more than 15-20%. Kind of like a stockholm syndrome situation. They also mention that they dont think ALPA will go after much more than that.<---I dont know why they think this way??

I bet you the contract surveys would be much different if ALPA was gung-ho in their position for restoration plus inflation. Yet, Im not sure what ALPA's stance is in regards to our future pay (worst case scenario AF/KLM). So without sticking out one's neck, One would rather be mild in demands (typical average human quality)

Again, I am pro-ALPA. I am also pro-DPA. Im pro anybody that will represent the pilot group, wholeheartedly and without any "hidden-agendas". UNITY is important. What is more important though is that every pilot needs to know and BELIEVE that they are worth much more.

Go get em boys.
