One of the most basic principles of any union is to preserve jobs. When our union takes actions that require fewer pilots I have to question what is going on at DALPA. Of course it would help if we the pilot group stopped ratifying these TA's that require fewer of us.

Over time there is no way increasing line holder and reserve ALV's will do anything other than require fewer bodies to run the airline. Changing the number of days in the bid periods; yep, fewer bodies.

I heard the statement "Richard Anderson isn't comfortable with how little our pilots fly in the winter". After the MASSIVE concessions that we gave during BK I don't care what RA and management want. I voted NO on the contract not because I think we could of gotten that much more, it's that I know we could of given up less.
