They try to present it boldly as a universal fact while sniggering under their breath because they know it could be flipped 180 degrees from what they are saying if they used the "other data" and interpretation that was selectively left out.
For the record, I think FPL should be banned for anyone to be posting on message boards UNLESS they state their name and position with ALPA and are willing to show their time card. Hiding behind "these are just my own opinions" while getting paid is pure nonsense and a waste of dues money that should be used to campaign for restoration.
That's sure right Ed, but don't forget they are just as scrupulous in
ignoring data that would highlight our leverage. Leaving out our JV foreign competitors in contract comparisons for example.
The question I have is why? There's no question they're doing it, but why is the key. Are they doing it because they really do have an accurate pulse of the pilot group majority and this is what Delta pilots want in their union? Or is there another reason our union behaves this way?
