Jerry, you and I have flown together. I enjoyed a 5 day trip with you out of DTW on the 320 probably 5 years ago. I KNOW that you are a great guy to sit next to for an entire trip and I admire your enthusiasm for seeing things improve/return to where this career once was.
All that said, I really think you're getting spun up over the wrong things. I have yet to see anything remotely resembling a planned "cramdown".
The requests for pilot participation are genuine. Everyone involved has high expectations for C2015. Anything else is speculation and paranoia at this stage of the game.
"Mike" wasn't c44 chair. When he became the DALPA master chair, I was one of his cheerleaders. That said, I haven't seen him say anything in person or in writing that makes me think the legal department isn't running the show.
If you could share any quotes, either written or spoken, that give specific examples of improvements he seeks I would love to read them...specifics
