Guys,
First off thanks for volunteering. Here is my question.
For months I have been hearing from DALPA that the company will have their wants and this is a negotiation and that both sides will have to make concessions.
So what were our concessions? I have yet to hear about a single concession from the official DALPA correspondence. Since you guys are dealing with facts please list what concessions of ours that this TA includes.
Thanks Scoop
Professor this is a question for you. I'm trying to figure out how you can defend what I see as indefensible. Personally, I think the contract is indefesable but I know you will disagree with that. What I would like explained is how DALPA works. I have been at two other Alpa cariers and never experienced the kind of sales job like this. I have been through the whole process, through the end of a strike, and even in the toughest times the sales pitch was never so hard. I would like you to try and defend the sales pitch. I'm not being disingenuous.
If you honestly present the cons are you chastised by the others in your circle or threatened with no support from Alpa leadership if you want to advance within Alpa. I'm truly trying to understand what motivates you to only present the pros. Is your loyalty to DALPA or the pilot group? Sadly, when it comes to how this TA is being presented you can't be loyal to both.
I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm taking a shot at you. I'm not. I'm just trying to understand how DALPA operates.
Remember guys this was a question for professor.
