We'd usually read it there prior to hearing about it from DALPA....
We didn't hear about the company opening for zero percent raises in C2012 until after the vote! If we had heard that part first, no way it ever would have passed!
We did get the openers at NWA Timbo. Both sides' openers. I know that doesn't matter because we're all Delta now and Delta doesn't do it that way. Just giving the history.
It just amazes me how this "union" bends over backward to follow the requests of management. Why would our union want to keep the company's opening position from us? Is it because their opener was so good, DALPA doesn't want us to get too excited?
