What "perspective?" Why are you trying to "reach those people?"
To raise their expectations--or to lower them? To encourage them to fight for the best possible contract--or to settle for whatever management offers? To question the status quo and improve the "union--"or to demand obeisance to those who "know better" like yourself?
The things you and Carl and many others post on here are simply stupid failed tactics that have no basis in reality. Everyone that does what you propose fails. If the pilot group wants to go down that path of failure, then it is their choice.
I'm not sure how many "tactics" are discussed here. Am I demanding accountability, transparency, and performance from "our" "union?" Absolutely.
However, I don't want to go down that path. So I will try to convince people why your ideas are stupid and doomed to failure.
The same could be directed towards DALPA's outdated, one-sided "constructive engagement" strategy, which has run its course. For crying out loud, Alfa. DALPA doesn't even have the juice to keep us out of an unapproved hotel in one city! And you think the same "engagement" will magically work to our advantage in C15? I don't.
It is so funny that people like you try as much as possible to harass and attack anyone who disagrees with your ideas. Why are you so afraid of open debate? That is the real question.
This from possibly the most arrogant, belittling poster on this thread. AlfaRomeo claims the high ground. Bravo.
