You said they've since corrected this. The quote you provide does not address it.
It's your responsibility to decide whether you're adequately rested or not. It always has been. Stop trying to push your decisions onto someone else. If you didn't receive your rest opportunity, then make the call to the company. I know the stance of your ATL reps, as do you. They never agreed with the individuals you mentioned. So while you continue to attempt to make an issue out of this, it's already known that this isn't an issue.

No we don't. We don't know that it was way more. You can only guess or assume that it was. And the statement by ALPA was not dishonesty or incompetence. Just because you believe that we should have received more doesn't make it a reality. You can continue to shout from the rooftops that we should have the buying power of C2K again, but based on the rest of the industry and our peers rates your numbers are way out of range. Pattern bargaining has ALWAYS paved the way. It will take time to get the buying power back. Your belief that DPA will somehow be better or do it faster is nothing more than hope for change. Nothing more than a gamble. And one that I'm not willing to take.
