IMO DALPA will let this pass without a word. I mean why take the opportunnity to congratulate them and also mention the Delta pilots are still working under bankruptcy concessions and need an 18% hourly rate increase to hit numbers that are over 11 years old without accounting for inflation.
I attended the Communications Training School at ALPA National and I can tell you it doesn't get any better that this for a talking point to educate the shareholders, fellow employees and management. Making a public statement rallies the pilots and unifies the group.
IMO we will hear nothing but silence.
Silence is consent.
I'm afraid constructive engagement nullifies any possibility of such an inflammatory statement being made in public.
