If Delta is actually having trouble attracting qualified pilots, they can fix it without ALPA having to negotiate for it. Basic economics.
You must be such a pleasure to fly with. Paying rent and paying for accommodations during training are two different things.
Your negotiating capital is growing as our association continues to sell what little we have left in our contract.
The AIPs is a total bust, but none of that affects you either so you will vote yes to a self funded contract with little to no gains, good for you!
Welcome to the best airline in the world with the best pilots and employees, but sorry you will have to stay in some crappy apartment for your training probably being run by guess who RUBE or maybe not RUBE but some other pilot/employee.
Just can't wrap my head around the mentality of the above post.
