Btw, there is irony in all this. The DALPA guys routinely hide behind "Can't do that because it compromises our negotiating position"....then run an embarrassing fire drill throwing all our cards in the air followed by sending stern quotes by our CEO to the press! You think that might have hurt our bargaining position a little? Douchbagery at it's worst! Let's put new rules in place to prevent this from ever happening again please.
Yes, I agree that this TA was ill-conceived and a waste of money...
"Way too early, and way off target", I say.
But this happens in the RLA negotiating process all the time. Just the first time here at Delta is all. No need to panic. Let's take our time before we start changing all the rules or talking about an independent union.
