Of course you did Sink r8. You got paid flight pay loss to deliver that lopsided presentation at the lounges and here on APC. You're still giving it. You both expected it, and got paid for it.

I know you guys didn't expect opposition, but again you mischaracterize on purpose. It was not a NO "sales job." It was an airing of ALL the facts...good and bad. That's what killed the TA. Well that and the fact that you guys insulted everyone with the one-sided YES sales job.

Are you getting this guys? For all of you that think I've been too hard on guys like Sink r8 and Nestor, are you reading this? No voters didn't actually know what was in the TA! 65% of Delta pilots voted NO to a TA in which they didn't know the contents. You just can't make this stuff up.

In the end, it was a case of DALPA no longer being able to control the flow of information. The truth got out, and you guys got exposed for who you really are. Charlatans.
