That they would ALWAYS agree on everything? Interpretations, the best way to go about things, etc?
Reference the current Scheduling Reference Handbook. Page 18 does discuss flying fatigued. If you aren't rested, you call in fatigued. If your reason for calling in fatigued is justified, you will be supported by DALPA.
How do you know? Did you read the surveys of all the participants? Or are you simply making an assumption based off your personal desires of restoring C2K buying power?
One of the DALPA people putting out this erroneous info is the chairman of DALPA's scheduling committee. Another is a Captain rep in SLC who also used to be chairman of our negotiating committee.
You said they've since corrected this. The quote you provide does not address it.
And as for the survey results... It doesn't matter whether I've seen them or not. You and I both know it was way more than 4833. For DALPA to tell us, "we hear you loud and clear", was either dishonesty or incompetence.
