As far as your testicular comment, that is the last kind of argument that one who has no argument can make. The DAL pilots won, despite your best efforts. Thank goodness.
Fair enough T,
I was AGAINST. Maybe I am delusional or misinformed (I went over and above with deciphering the TA, thus proud of my vote). I accept the fact that the majority of my peers accepted this TA. I will be ok with that decision and move on positively as a good little Delta employee. I dont think DPA is the answer to anything either.
My concern is still:
1) The exploitation of section 1. Whether it happens now or in 3 years. I have a strong gut feeling that the 76 seaters will eventually morph into 90 seaters. I dont think the 4-8-3-3 is worth the continual degradation of our careers.
2) My opinion is that 4-8-3-3 is going to be the new Delta standard. Whether you believe it or not. We just gave management a plethora of relief for "measly" pay. Basically, they know that the Delta pilots will never ask for anything more than COLA. What is that pay, when you factor in the cost of living and taxes? Is it worth the continual outsourcing of our careers? I guess to 62% of my co-workers, it is.
Respectfully and as a good team-member I will never say,"I told you so",
