Would it be illegal for the union to put out a memo asking all pilots to acknowledge short call and trip assignments just prior to the minimum PWA requirements? I like that idea, since everyone would be doing the same thing instead of the do what you want yard sale ALPA is recommending. And the company reads those memos too. You want to talk about leverage. Why do I always feel like we have Busch League negotiators?
my thoughts exactly. The only way to maximize our leverage is for all of us to toe the line. DALPA had a chance to provide some strong leadership and put the company on notice that we're not going to be steamrolled.
Instead, we get a weakly worded, impotent suggestion from DALPA that does nothing to unify us or exert our leverage.
I predict, based on past performance, that only a small percentage of us will "push to test," and the vast majority will happily and/or cluelessly tether themselves to Mother Delta.
Pathetic.
