I get the fact that you are ticked off at DALPA. Most pilots around here have some serious gripes with them. But, let the record show for me that even though I think DALPA has dropped the ball on many issues, it's contract time. Meaning, it's time to get paid. Like paid what we should have been getting paid 5-7 years ago.
Right now, DALPA is up to bat, and if they strike out by bringing home a crappy TA, then it's time for them to go. But, until then, because I'm wearing the same uniform as them, I sincerely hope they hit a home run.
Let's not root to have our noses cut off, so in 18 months we can spite Sailing, Slow, Alpha, or Ts. That's just dumb, and personally I feel I've been underpaid long enough.
I hope I'm wrong and hope everyone feels the same.....
Spot on as always, newK.
It sure would be nice if the DALPA/DPA master debaters would take it over to that thread. I'm sick of it and sick of modding it.
As post here or there would be fine, but good gosh it's like banging your head against a wall after that.
For the record, I filled out the uniform survey. The hats are staying and button up that coat, boys and girls! You long sleeve wearing freaks will have to keep them in the winter only. Show off those guns in the summer with the rest of us.
