Oh, what's that I hear?
Folks, what I am advocating here is:
- Support ALPA, your Reps and Volunteers who work for you
- Support ALPA PAC
- Think carefully about your survey responses
- Consider that scope nets you more actual pay through advancement than having $1 above whatever arbitrary metric, or contract comparison from a decade and a half ago you might have in mind.
- Just think; remember that Delta is a holding company of alter ego stacked on alter ego and the easy play is simply to move flying around to the flavor of the day while allocating costs to the "bad boys."
- Hold ALPA accountable for results. Learn about the Candidates. Know how your Reps vote. We, as members of the association fail the association when we let things like Endeavor's negotiations go unchallenged. We need to keep a very close watch on this transatlantic JV.
Bar, good points. I would also not state your last the way you have. Those negotiations and results did not go unchallenged, it was not the majority position to challenge them more formally. There was plenty of discussion and back and forth on this issue last year, and some of it was in plenary in DC. I think you heard about that.
