The "crisis" was manufactured. You were manipulated.
IMHO ... you are a Delta pilot. ALPA represents you to Delta management. You fly Delta passengers in Delta jets. You can replace me, I can replace you, our customer would not know the difference. We are alter egos (at least in the professional sense). Welcome aboard.
No one thinks otherwise. When are we not being manipulated, especially at the small jet operators? However, we had zero leverage to bargain with. I have no doubt what the result would have been had we voted no. Lesser of the two evils...
