I have been very fortunate as I was 40 when I checked out as a 727 A. I sincerely hate to see what is happening demographically at DAL. Our airline really needs to grow internally, and I believe there is a way it can. We have an untapped resource at our airline that could be used to be a game changer in the industry. I would love to have a day with RA to express my ideas. I have already spoken too much and now the Cowboys are winning.
Well said dalad, I completely agree with your DALPA/DPA views. I think Drank isn't as far out as some make him to be. IOW, many of us on here (despite our bickering) want the same results. Thanks for the post.
