I know you are going to lambast me for suggesting to volunteer when one is not happy, but being told to volunteer when I had concern after concern is exactly what I did. It's not the end all, but its a start.

We as a pilot group need critical mass of our group. A divided group results in less leverage. How much less? Unknown, but looking inward and infighting that is not looking to improve the union nor the results means we are focusing on less process and product which directly effects every Delta Pilot and their family. The reach of this is not just 11,700 pilots but their families. That results in probably close to 100,000 lives being effected by a group not focusing on showing up to meetings demanding changes in whatever they see as wrong, and instead looking for a "easy" button that offers change without specifics,and unrealistic cure-alls .

The work may not be easy, and probably will be painstakingly frustrating for you, but I honestly feel that is more pilots double-downed on their careers and their union the results would be tangible.

Just my .02.
