Interesting. You join last month and have 8 posts, and you say I'm predictable. Sounds like an old timer trying to come off as a new unbiased guy. Is that you Lumberg?

That would be a good start for your research.
Then it should be easy for you to find it and post the exact words of the NMB chair. I'll wait.

Our own government, state owned airlines with their anti competitive model and the DPA, a bunch of angry people with no plan, no talent and no future. The three of them together make for a very dangerous cocktail, shaken or stirred.
Here's what you're missing: The brave new world started decades ago when ALPA decided on a strategy to not fight management attempts at outsourcing major jobs. Bloviate about foreign carriers all you want, but outsourcing has hurt us far more. And ALPA is still SILENT on the subject. ALPA will not even use the word outsourcing.

Have you read about how this "Special Committee" began and how they behaved? This kind of a thing is interesting when it's aimed against management during a labor dispute...but against your own fellow pilots? It's truly amazing in its political deafness and blindness.

We
are trying to build something here dude. It's a new union for Delta pilots that is independent from ALPA national. It's very exciting.
