This is a once in a lifetime negotiating environment. Why are you so anxious to lower our expectations? What is your agenda? Are you even a pilot?
As has been "figured out" I am management, an ALPA insider, not a pilot (certainly not one that works for DAL) and Tsquare.
I have no agenda. I just want to know if you really believe in your "logical" mind whether achieving a contract without any concession whatsoever is really achievable. Stop screeching about an agenda, lowering expectations and all that DPA talking point nonsense and talk to the issue. Tell me how to get a contract with a C2K+ inflation pay increase, trip touching vacations drop, a 7th week of vacation, increase in PS AND the 401k without any concession on our part whatsoever. Is it because we "deserve it" and that management will acknowledge that fact and just do it?
Give me fact and leave your continual vitriol on the keyboard for once.
