Nothing is perfect, and Im sure if DPA gets the nod that there will be some bumps in the road, that's to be expected. I'm not saying that everything has to benefit us; however, we should be beyond giving items that cost us.
I want a union that protects our jobs, it's really that simple. If DPA were to put forward a TA that that either through outsourcing or work rule concessions required fewer pilots, I will be among the first to call them out.
Certain things in C2012 were a step in the right direction. Did we really have to give up other items to get those gains? I hate to say it, but the phrase "what are you willing to give up for that" rang true imo.
Now I hear DALPA say "we hear you loud and clear, pay is the number one issue to you" and I'm really concerned about what they will give to get that money.
