How does DALPA get away with saying that when the payrates don't exceed the ones from over 10 years ago when adjusted for inflation? Do I have my math or info wrong? This is an honest question.
It's funny that in the same letter he accused people of lying, he himself perpetrated a flat out, undeniable, bald faced lie. There is no pension with this TA. There is no trips touching with this TA. There is no retirement insurance with this TA. The pay rates do not exceed the 2004 rates adjusted for inflation. The list goes on. This is not the 'richest' contract in history. The Chairman of the Union ought to know better than that, so I'm not going to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. Good question for the roadshow!!!
