Great example of DALPA's most slippery representative. Notice the mocking of even the desire to obtain the buying power of a decade ago? More importantly, notice the mocking of pensions by trying to make you believe that the only choice is to put a pension back into the hands of those who terminated them. A complete straw man argument as there are other ways to give retirement security without handing them back to the company and ALPA. Slippery.

No it doesn't. It's just another slippery way by you DALPA reps to lower expectations.

That's not just slippery, that's just slimey. First, NWA was unlucky in that we were not up to pattern above DAL and UAL until after 9/11. That's why our
rates were lower. Second, we had significantly better work rules in other areas that moderated the differences in pay
rates. Regardless, this a stupid and divisive comment by someone who should no better.
I'll tell you acl, you have been nothing but a disappointment from the first post I've read of yours. Always politically speaking from all sides of the mouth and duplicitous. The ultimate politician. Getting elected has only made you worse.
