Well, first off its Caddyshack. Praised be thy celluloid.
Second off, with regards to your other posts. I don't care. At all, not one bit about how other employee groups view our contract or our profit sharing.
We are unionized and as such are constantly negotiating against 'ghost' labor in the company. Frankly I resent it, because the 'me too' syndrome we have to fight the company on at the negotiating table is tiresome.
Because we are an organized labor group we have a process and a system in place to deal with new contracts that is totally separate and apart from all other proceedings at the airline. This isn't an opinion its a fact of federal law. The DALPA by-laws, RLA and NMB run our negotiating show.
What Delta management decides to do or not do with other contracts is totally and completely their call. It has nothing to do with Delta pilot representation nor the Delta pilots themselves.
To suggest that the company will have to 'reduce salaries' if X, Y or Z happens inside of the Delta pilots' contract is emotional blackmail. If not straight out blackmail of other labor groups.
It isn't appreciated.
