The company is solidly profitable yet we are still working for essentially the bankruptcy contract plus some COLA.
And to get that little 4,8,3,3 COLA we had to give huge productivity concessions.
Isn't it about time to get up off our knees?
Why does DALPA continue to do business in an entirely reactionary, defensive manner? We have some bargaining power here. Why not stand up? Is it intentional? Is it Moak?
I agree with you 100% Check, but look at the responses here from
line pilots. Line pilots are saying things that show great fear of what might happen if we dare to stand up to management. "Think of how much worse it could get if we try to bloody their noses..." etc.
Bottom line is that there is a solid percentage of line pilots that are afraid to risk what they have now in order to gain anything. The irony is that when we look the other way with Scope violations, we
do lose what we have now.
