I see many things lowering expectations and zero leadership on attaining a "historic" C2015 as promised by the MEC in True Headings 14-2.
You have invented things in your own mind that you feel could lower expectations. "Feeling" and "demonstrating" are not the same thing. I'm sorry you believe your fellow pilots are incapable of examining their environment and developing their own individual goals, and how to work together to further the group.
Next month the survey will be out. In the interest of fairness, would you please point out all the leadership communications that raise our line pilots expectations to achieve a historic and unprecedented agreement?
I think you just mentioned one above.... yet I still stand by the fact that Delta Pilots are intelligent and can set their own standards and work together as a group to achieve them.
To me without leadership, what does this historic agreement look like?
The failed attempt by you and the donut brigade are definitely without leadership, and unless you close it down ASAP the "historic agreement" you so repetitively desire will be even more difficult to achieve. Go ask a FedEx pilot how destructive and hindering the FPA was to their ALPA negotiators and contract efforts in the 90's. FedEx ALPA History
Where is the chart with the May 2004 rates plus inflation?
What was your seat/year/rate in 2004? What would that be with inflation? You tell me first and we will work from there. Rates are only one part of a very complex contract... Plus, why limit ourselves to that?
Where is the chart with the billions in concessions we have taken since 9/11?
I wish it mattered, but it doesn't. No one in the public sphere cares about whiny, overpaid pilots. Emotion doesn't put more money in my checking account.
Where is the MEC statement that Delta executive management compensation is up 300% to 700% since Chapter 11?
Who cares... It doesn't matter to the courts, the NMB, or the public. It's an emotional request, why waste the time and energy. There are real issues to deal with. Emotion doesn't put more money in my checking account.
Thanks and looking forward to your highlighting our leaders communication on our historic PWA.
