As far as contract 2012 I can't say I was a strong advocate for it and did not change my vote until the last day to a yes after a long discussion with a member of the negotiating committee. What I did try and do is educate myself and clarify some of the wild stuff posted on here.
In the end the yes vote turned out far better then I could have imagined at the time and is directly responsible for us now being in the most favorable negotiating climate in the last 15 years.
Funny that a quick glance at any avaition web board shows Delta is the place people want to be. Strange how that happened!
It's always ironic that any pilot who dares to opine, challenge, or otherwise question the directional intent taken by DALPA leadership is accused of acting on haste, emotion, and/or irrational, but ardent supporters, such as yourself, continually purport statements as bold-faced above.
Why should we, as pilots, care that DAL is currently a first choice of pilot applicants? Every legacy/major was at one pont the "place to be". So should we be prideful and proud that we are at a company that other pilots would like to work. Does it provide you some comfort that others wish to be in your shoes
Doesn't sound much like a rational, unemotional perspective if you ask me.
