Official DAL 2015 (No BS) Thread?
Premise:
1) Without the ALPA forum, many Delta pilots do not have a place to debate/exchange info. I just spoke to a friend (normal, average line dog) who had been coming here for news, up until the point it became 20 guys yelling at each other. He hears that average guys like him are now turned off by APC.
2) Many posts here are philosophically driven, and are designed to discredit one group or another, or a poster or another. The posters involved seem to have an infinite amount of time.
3) The contract survey comes with a finite amount of time. For whatever reason, which I'm not sure it's worth speculating on, the reps have either abdicated their responsibility, or gone fully democratic, and the future is in our hands. We actually have in the survey a tool that can reinforce our future contracts, or weaken them considerably. All parties seem to agree that participation is critical.
In light of this, would anyone be interested in participating in a new thread, that deals specifically with the details of the survey, and makes arguments over answers, and over the best outcome for the Delta pilot group?
Covered:
a) Specific discussions on specific answers, with pro/con arguments.
b) Discussions about the interaction of various potential changes, i.e. how one question affects another, or how a set of concessions might affect staffing, or QOL, or finances, etc.
c) General recommendations for filling out the survey, i.e. reminding people to save, etc.
Out-of-bounds would be anything else, especially:
a) Anything to do with CBA's, i.e. who sucks, who's great, and Moak.
b) Anything that attacks another poster.
c) Anything not related to the substance of a question.
Any takers, under these conditions? No need to debate: if you agree with the concept, join in with an item. If you disagree, there are already threads for that.
Or, better yet, maybe the mods can set up a DAL survey sub-forum, and we can put up individual survey questions as threads, eah with a poll, and pro-con arguments?
