Way to go, Sailing. It is completely obvious you willingly chose to overlook this totally on-point, honest post that speaks to your concern in the very first sentence, yet demonstrates why your viewpoint is so off the mark (as usual)...

I believe several yes to the TA guys will keep their seats. Some clearly NEED to go. If the recalls are stonewalled, that, in and of itself, is the DPA opportunity.
This is about delta pilot representation and the best possible contract. We were lied to, plain and simple. We were not honestly represented, plain and simple. This is the opportunity the Delta MEC is fostering for the DPA.
As FTB so concisely noted, Alpa was brought down by an $800k sell job.
if that happens, then yes, it's going to be awhile before we see a TA. That, my friend is entirely on the DALPA MEC...not DPA opportunists.

That's
2 1/2 years from now in an environment where, just over 60 days ago, folks like you believed TA1 was a slam dunk.
Once again, TA1 wasn't just about the money. Everytime anyone focuses exclusively on the money it is a warning flag. TA1 was not rejected because of the money. It was rejected because of the concessions. You know this. And yet you continue to ignore that, chosing into Donatelli fear-mongering, going so far as to say "30 months" instead of 2 1/2 years.
Yes, it's that obvious.
