Yes! Such is the result of DALPA's "Peace at any cost" appeasement strategy they are so proud of. Neville Chamberlain would be proud.
We will continue to stagnate (and our career expectations will continue to languish) as long as we permit DALPA to hold hands with the company instead of playing hardball when necessary to advance OUR agenda.
DALPA negotiates marginal pay improvements with work rule and profit sharing giveaways, all while the company is making record profits--and crows about how lucky we should feel.
As far as I can tell, the biggest beneficiaries of DALPA's misguided appeasement are:
a) the company
and
b) everyone at Alaska
Shouldn't Delta pilots be somewhere--anywhere!--on that list?
