hey man, I'm not angry. I'm not a pessimist, either. I'm an idealist, and I get spun up when we should be making significant gains, but can't or won't. When our pay and benefits are completely butchered by incompetent, greedy, and/or lazy buffoons who are supposed to be looking out for the Delta line pilot--but who certainly aren't. When we send good money away from our pilot group, only to be wasted by a bloated bureaucracy, and gifted to groups trying to undercut us. Thus, my utter disdain for ALPA.

I'm just tired of ALPA whizzing on our backs and telling us it's raining. That's the company's job--not "our" "union's."

The company is making billions, and we settled for 4/8/3/3 and massive giveaways. But we did get to slide the bidding window 12 hours.
