Parse the words to infer what you desire, but my point is even the strongest DALPA supporters believed the NC didn't deliver and could not bring themselves to vote for this TA. And surely some who voted in favor didn't like it, but said yes so as to allow DALPA's members to make that decision for themselves. So ask what DPA could do instead all you want, but the question is what could the NC have done better? I'll start: Stated clearly that they could not go to their MEC and their pilots with this POS, but in a much politer way. The company is making great profits, and wants to get this TA so as to allow it to move on to its next initiative. I'm all in favor of that, but I'm not in favor of giving up what should be an opportunity for a much improved contract so as to make their job easier. They get PAID handsomely, and they've shown why with this TA. This was an opportunity to prove how much they thought of our work and efforts. The flowery platitudes from SD every week are nice, and I appreciate the sentiment, but when it comes to actually SHOWING me what they think this is what they give me? Seriously, how dumb do they think we are?
