Had they accomplished that in the JCBA, the 767 pilots would have been taking home an extra $24 an hour over the last several years instead of being scant dollars above 737 pay.

The opportunity to fix that again and use the pattern bargaining leverage that DALPA clings to was missed.... again.

Sure, its looks good when you put the 2015 payrate of $226 next to Hawaiian's current rate today of $199, but it would look much better if the 767 was banded to the a330 and it paid $255 hour.

Quite frankly, if DALPA would try to be even the remote bit human about how they act as stewards of our profession, they would do much better.

Instead of always stridently harping about how they are always correct, never make mistakes, and are basically perfect and infalliable, they should try humility.

Present the TA with the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Be straight up. Drop the spin and the sell job. It would be much better received.

I'm not living in reality if I think I'll ever see this happen though. Just look how they are handling the FPL resolutions.
