ALPA is relevant and we have work to do.
But we will squander it Bar. Bank on it. Moak has all but said so, then RA backed it by stating that labor risk at Delta has been taken
completely off the table. We'll codify the JV non-compliance into our new contract, make no scope gains, and have COLA pay raises funded with further reductions in profit sharing. DALPA will call it the greatest of victories, while you and I will be disappointed yet again. Then you'll come out with full support of ALPA as the best way forward...for C2018.
