We both know the reason management is making things better ... because as a labor group you failed so severely that no one except for you and your cadre are willing to work for what you voted yes to. So the market is fixing the problem for you.
Again, I very much hope your contract improves. It will improve, not as result of your work and not as fast as I would like, but it will get better.
If Endeavor failed ok but what would you then call the CAL pilots contract that allowed SCABS to fly at a mainline?
Isn't Capt Moak a DAL Capt? Why would he allow back door negotiations which in essence is stabbing his fellow DAL pilots in the back as you seem to imply?
Why doesn't ALPA see that agreements are enforced? Look what happened to Mesaba pilots. Only a small handful could flow to DAL. You may not like flows but this was an agreement. NWA pilots made out ok "as they should" but because Mesaba wasn't a mainline ALPA did not see that their agreement was enforced or upheld.
How did ALPA help TWA pilots? You might want to ask a TWA pilot how he feels.
Seems to me Endeavor isn't the problem but just easier to point fingers at.
