It has everything to do with our bargaining agent. It was that bargaining agent that threw a fait accompli in front of our reps, then went on a one-sided sales campaign. Apathetic line pilots didn't do that. Our bargaining agent did.

Agreed. But there's no doubt that DALPA follows management's military chain of command. That's part of the problem.

Fix the military chain of command mentality, fix the culture. Militaristic mentalities in business fail. Just because its what you've only known, doesn't mean it's the only way. Too many in our union just don't get that.
