Now let's take the next step. Does RA reward the Delta pilots and capitulate? Or does he say lets see what the NMB says?
Everyone voting no should have an opinion here. Let's hear them. If you want a yes voter like me to consider your view you have to show me how it ends. I can show you how a ratification ends. I realize it's the future and unknowable as such, but you have to have a realistic idea of a timeline and result in order to make sure it's worthwhile.
In my little mind, it ends in about 18 months or less with a truly Historic contract that rewards the Delta Pilots for 12 years of concessions and sacrifices, and reflects a corporation that is returning $6 Billion to shareholders.
So what's the next step?
Vote this POS down.
Then we recall the MEC Chairman, the Strategic Planning committee, and the Negotiating Committee. Replace them with all the NO voting LEC reps and make Tom Brielmann the Chairman.
Then we start from scratch with Family Awareness meeting, informational picketing, use the Media to point out how many BILLIONS of dollars the Delta Pilots have given to SAVE DELTA, point out that we are STILL 18% below rates from 11 years ago, and we gave up BILLIONS in our DB retirement plans as well. We point out all the outsourcing of our mainline jobs to RJ's at the bottom, and to JV's at the top.
Then we go public with the company's Sick Leave proposal, and we go public with Richard's Compensation Package, and compare it to OUR compensation package!
And THEN....
We inflate the Memory Rat!
In short, we put Labor Risk right back on the table, where it BELONGS!
Without Labor Risk, you get a pos TA like this!
Why our MEC Chairman let Richard's pronouncement go unchallenged is beyond me!
