Here is what I don't understand. It's clear you want to be at war with management yet you seem to worship SWAPA who were the pioneers of the concept of working with management. DALPA tries for a new model somewhat based on SWAPA and produces a result that puts us at the top of the industry not long after being in chapter 11. Not a single airline in the last 15 years taking your approach has accomplished much of anything. Once again I have to go with reality and results. I want the most money and best quality of life I can get within the realities of working under the RLA. What we are doing has produced a remarkable result.
Oh, you know what it is. He's bitter. Even though his participation in the cuts and losses pales to yours, he feels that he is OWED something. But the problem is that he STILL cannot come up with anybody in this entire industry that has fared better overall than we have. So, he has to save face. I think he figures that if he keeps whining and complaining, and shooting for the destruction of dALPA, at some point, there could be a pendulum that will swin his way. Kind of like the pathetic souls you see pulling levers in Vegas. "My luck HAS to change sometime... right"?
