I didn't expect you to actually answer. More or less for the reason that you probably don't have a good explanation as to why it would matter if I was a regional FO or a widebody CA. I do find it funny though that you feel little need to justify or defend your thoughts on here. Isn't that what this board basically does....justify or defend peoples thoughts about whats going on in this industry?
What is the firsthand/practical knowledge that I'm missing? Because I've seen firsthand how the outsourcing has hurt the current group of pilots as well as any future pilots. This is not an industry I would recommend to anyone because of the outsourcing that has taken place in the last 20 years.
As I said, I've just been curious as to your background. You've all but admitted that you're not a Delta pilot. Furthermore, I'm still unconvinced that you're a pilot at all. Oh well. It's your right to not answer me.
This board is not a place for me to defend or justify my thoughts, or to convince anyone that they should be thinking like me. I'm on here to gather information. Usually, I'm looking for rumors. Since the TA was released, I'm here looking at interpretations of various contract sections, with an emphasis on potential loopholes. I see a lot of good in this contract, as well as several things I don't like; in the end I may decide that the good outweighs the bad, and vote for this thing.
I don't think anyone looking at this TA considers it enough of a slam dunk to not only vote yes, but to encourage others to do so. I'm certainly in that camp; I'm happy to let every Delta pilot decide for themselves. You, on the other hand, are clearly an outsider, yet seem to be encouraging Delta pilots to vote against this TA. That's easy for you to do; you don't have to live under the resulting contract.
