Hey Purple,
I was PMNW. Did the AS agreement come from PMDL or PMNW? What about the JV with KLM? Did DALPA negotiate that?

Who has Purple? Give me an example. Every Major airline in the USA has a marketing agreement with another airline. Including SWA. That creates a lack of leverage. If every house in your area is selling for an average price, will you come in and get it for half the price? So how do you intend to recapture ALL Delta flying?

Your naivete boggles my mind.
So tell me, johnson29, when will you have a problem with code sharing, outsourcing, etc? Surely there is some point at which even you will stop defending DALPA enabling our competitors' growth at Delta pilots' expense. I've reached that point. Exactly what is that point for you?
Wow. Did you read my post? Where did I say I was fine with giving away flying? Don't bother looking because you won't find it. What I did say, was that us operating every single flight Delta is associated simply isn't feasible. If you can't accept that, you'll never be at peace with this profession. I don't like it, but I accept it. That being said, I will continue going forward with my effort to regain as much flying as possible. I complete my surveys. I write my Reps. I vote on TAs. But it likely will never all come back.
Going back to the new Alaska routes, you have still failed to answer how DALPA is conceding flying.
