If Moak and the gang at DALPA are offering you guys and gals at Pinnacle promises of negotiating a path of career progression to Delta, be extremely cautious and skeptical of what they tell you.

They strung the CMR MEC (post JC, of course) along for years with empty promises of negotiating a flow/staple/pref hire to Delta. I was always skeptical of this and somehow had a 6th sense that we were being lied to. Turns out, unfortunately, that i was right and they were just trying to beat the clock, which they did successfully since Comair isn't around any longer. After Moak secured our vote for his election and other issues at the 2010 BOD in FLL, we became expendable and were essentially cut loose, but they continued to string us along with empty promises and false hopes.

PCL pilots, be very, very cautious and careful if they are offering to negotiate a path of career progression to Delta with you.
