Agree or disagree, 88 drvr beats the educational drum. He is a strategic planning committee of one with no insider information. He doesn't have the best legal minds in the business, an EF&A or $100K secretaries at his beck and call.
He is not your enemy, just the recipient of broken promises. I'd bet a paycheck he wears his uniform like he's supposed to and flies like he's supposed to.
I agree with all of that. My hope is that he picks up a shovel in the real world as well. Constantly venting here about how he wants 70%+ to recoup the losses may be therapeutic for 88, but it's not putting more money in my pocket.
Saying that ALPA should just state it as a goal and it will be so is naive at best. Why didn't anyone think of that before? All we had to do was be a little tougher? Set clearer goals? Piece of cake right?
I've not met one "ALPA guy" that wouldn't love to have C2K+ tomorrow. Railing against those that are trying to make things better is counterproductive IMO.
Queue the cute ALPA and DPA acronyms
