Jerry has been pushing the value of the DPA surveys. Jerry has been the only one running around here and on Chitchat with his hair on fire saying that pay banding is a done deal and the DPA survey has said the pilots want pay banding. He's written a number of the DPA emails. Does he support the DPA's survey stating that pilots want pay banding because it helps training?

You can't have it both ways. If Delta does read everything then they know that the DPA pilots in 2003 whoever they were at the time actually wanted pay banding and it even says in the survey results that it to help out training. Isn't that what everyone is pi$$ed off about right now? Massive training issues? Everyone keeps saying how the DPA is causing DALPA to do things. DPA is responsible for the results. Well here's one that Jerry says is a done deal and low and eff'in behold the DPA says the Delta pilots wanted it in the next contract.

Do DPA/Independant public surveys mean anything or not? You can't have it both ways.
