So you voted in favor of C12 to continue to let Alaska fly our west coast narrow bodies? You were cool with Alaska flying our Mexico trips out of LAX? You were cool with giving up Terminal 2 and moving to 5 and bastardized 6 in support of Alaska and Skywest growth? You were ok with more CRJ-900s rolling into SLC? You had no problem with not even a single narrow body being based in SEA? And all the while there was ALPA at every base meeting defending how that codeshare is so beneficial to us as a pilot group. Delta, the only major airline that had less than 60 NB FOs on the entire west coast? And you continue to vote in favor of that? Nice little egg that stayed for TA15, I'm sure managemt will never rekindle that little gem.
Enter the timeframe between C12 and TA15. KLM/AF imbalance, VA side letters, a reduction in the floor of Pacific block hours... Let me guess you didn't think this management team would also outsource wide bodies to China Eastern?
TA15... LOADED with concessions. We vote no and the stalemate coincidentally ends at SWAPA and FedEx. DALPA finally doesn't lower the bar on scope and work rules!! Industry shocker!!
If you are here to spread facts how come you left out the part about MD having the sole authority to authorize another carrier, even foreign, to operate in DL colors? How come you didn't talk about management bonuses coming out of the pie before PS? How did you leave out the Alaska scope carveouts and SEA still not being a hub? Has staffing not risen out west with the waning of those efforts? Perhaps they were never good for Delta pilots? Ever think just maybe the trend is as follows: get as much lift flown by pilots other than delta mainline? That's a tough one to figure out.
How about sending out PMs on this board threatening management action? It's been awhile but you threatened one guy here and that PM was photocopied and probably converted into hundreds of DPA cards. Good job slick.
At the end of the day I ask you again, *** do you stand for? How are you a benefit whatsoever to anyone in this industy? You are a real piece of work.
