Many of us were screaming that we were being lied to and spun by that DALPA administration. Others here said folks like me were the liars.
The lesson here is never forgetting who was doing the lying and spinning.

I agree with you. From the day the first negotiator's notepad came out, I was furious and disgusted. I never felt good about our TA. I was a hell no vote. I'm convinced now that I am a permanent no vote for every TA I ever vote for. After it was voted in, I had some feelings that maybe 62 percent of us are right and I am unreasonable. Now that I've been under this contract for a year, I am angry that my fellow pilots voted this in.
