I think it is important to look at our unions top leaders and see where their motivation lies. Did this failed TA get pushed on us because it was best for us pilots or was it best for the guys pushing so hard? Perhaps being a Delta Line pilot is not the career path they have in mind. Is getting to ALPA National with all the $$ and retirement reason enough to hammer down the QOL issues that us line jocks face every month. As I sit in my hotel room for an 11 hour lay over that just followed a 10 hour layover that started at 0130, I look at my suitcase and realize all I have packed for this 4 day trip is 2 uniform shirts and a pair of pajamas. Yep, you guessed it, I am not a trip 7 captain, but I will have 13 legs this rotation. I am worth more than what was being pushed at me. I want union leadership that has my best interests, my family's best interests in mind when they represent us line pilots. I think it's house cleaning time!!
