That's a total squander in the neighborhood of $1 million each. If there are 9000 of us who've been here during that whole time period, that's a grand total squander of $9 billion.
I'm thinking the DPA campaign has not been anywhere near that expensive.
That's some creative accounting. Look around the industry. I was here for all of that. My thought is DPA is a couple people with a personal agenda against ALPA/DALPA that tried to take advantage of the dissatisfaction with the state of the industry at the time. What legacy has done better since 2004? A buddy in the same seat at United had to get a 45 percent raise to make it to our rates. I want a whole lot in the next contract and I'll put my money with the guys who navigated the decade better than any comparable group. Openers are approaching and DPA to me is a stupid wasteful distraction at this point.
