It sounded like we've already surrendered and they are starting to prepare the pilots for the bad news. That was possibly the most horrible and demoralizing thing any union could have published at this point in a contract cycle.
But then I told myself, "Self. This can't be what it sounds like. Its way too early. They just need to fire the Communications guy. That can't be the real tone of the meeting."
Now this leak of the specifics they've been discussing at that meeting.
Oh no. C2012 deja vu.
4833 and all the other concessions started with a leak exactly like this.
This is bad. This is real bad.
I'm in full agreement with others here that feel the most recent memo "let's show unity by voting a quick yes on whatever because it's always the smart thing to do" is a huge fail. The points made on that memo look to be penned by none other than Michael Campbell. Delta management is using your union to disseminate fear, uncertainty and doubt.
Based upon what we have seen so far, the train has jumped the tracks....expect a full court press sales job to follow. It's really too bad. We all want a union/leadership we can trust and look to for honest representation. What we have instead is that feeling you get when approached by a used car salesman.
