Very debatable. Lots of domestic pilots report much greater fatigue as a result.
Ridiculous and pure denial on your part. The JV's are an unmitigated disaster to pilot jobs. We've either rapidly shrunk to the allowable minimums, or rapidly shrunk below them. Unbelievable.
Nothing to do with clinging to history. Everything to do with shrinking immediately to the new lower minimum allowed by the new JV agreement. Exactly as many of us predicted would happen...despite the huge sales job performed by DALPA.

I hardly favor head first appeasement. In fact I am still ****ed at MDs "learn to say yes" comment.
I still contend however that you and PD (and a few others) are determined to find the dark lining in a silver cloud, don't really want a yes worthy TA (because what's the fun in voting yes?) and always know what DALPA should have done yesterday, but if pressed for specifics couldn't come up with a concrete solution for tomorrow.
We both want the same thing, a stellar contract. I believe that our reps are hard workers doing their best to get the most for all of us. You don't seem to feel that way.
