We are close to openers. ALPA will represent us. The first and most basic step is a 100% survey completion rate and everyone needs to say something similar to this: "I expect significant improvements in this contract and I don't expect to give up squat." Add your own specifics or pet peeves. Otherwise, as a realist I have to put myself in the negotiators shoes. How do I pretend to have any power if my constituency won't even take the time to fill out a survey?
OldFlyGuy,
Very interesting post. Perhaps Carl and Purple view their posts as "balancing" the posters that they consider "kool-aid" drinkers.
They are allowed to post opinions just as are all posters who respect the website terms of service.
I would suggest the best way to counter a post you disagree with is a rational fact filled response devoid of personal attacks. While the opinions on here vary greatly, I am confident the average DAL Pilot is smart enough to sort through the chaff and pick out the important stuff.
What specifically would you suggest?
Scoop
PS - I agree with you 100% on the importance of everyone completing a survey.
