Yes I saw that. It begs the question what he's doing at this point in time rubbing shoulders with Wall street telling them the pilots are happy and aren't planning for any big increases (indicating restoration is off the table once again in the upcoming contracts). I wish he would just quietly go. It won't be long before he pops up somewhere else working for corporate. Tired of these guys.

I know his disciples don't like her but sure wish there a was way Heide Oberndorf could take the reigns. She is one of the few that might have a chance of re-engaging membership that has become fed up. Even if 100% of the membership wanted her as president, the outdated policy of not letting the membership vote for president removes that possibility....causing even further apathy.

Moak's actions have killed the "unity" so many like to speak of. Not many want to unite behind him or his policies. Sure, we cry from the rooftops with management that Norwegian must be stopped while we watch management outsource Delta pilot jobs via JV's and DCI.

Moak's constructive engagement and "new way of peaceful labor working with management" sound like good material for a book (which he will probably write about how he revolutionized the industry) but when it comes to recapturing what was lost...."the pilots are happy....our goals are aligned with management goals" is what we get. Apparently that includes buying back stock at record highs, paying billions in dividends and making management so comfortable as to exclaim to investors the threat of labor discord has been taken off the table. Sorry no money left for the next pilot contract...it's spoken for.

As I said earlier, he's an anchor to the profession and unfortunately he's trained more like him to take the reigns. For the sake of the profession I hope we get someone in national and the Delta MEC leadership that is labor-centric verses more folks carrying managements water.
