Fixed your post Alfa.

Outside the DALPA echo chamber, people discuss various topics without the concern of being labeled as someone against unity. Outside the DALPA echo chamber, we
line pilots who really trudge away doing the important work don't think you're weak and spineless. We just think your philosophy of appeasing management at all costs is not best for us.

You prefer being back on the inside Alfa. The real world has made you even grumpier than when you were in the echo chamber.

I don't hide my fear, I clearly state it. Our bargaining agent for C2015 will not discuss a clear objective. That agent will not release survey results, our opening position, or a study showing how much money Delta pilots have given since 2004. That agent lost a lawsuit by TWA pilots for failing to represent them, and tried to bust the union of its own internal clerical workers. That leaves me fearful for our futures.
