I'm a deadzoner, being forced to work after age 60, to try and make up for my terminated pension. I am NOT going to sell out the younger pilots OR let management and ALPA slide on this negotiation. It is now a matter of principle that both ALPA and Delta address the amount of concessions I have made over my career. If ALPA does not, I will vote to kick them off of the property and get a new CBA. If Delta does not, then I will go on strike. We are at a crossroads. ALPA is the first in the firing line. Are they going to represent the will of the pilots or not? Either they change their tune and give us all something that we are willing to strike for, or they're history. Once/if they do that, or a new CBA is elected, Delta will be next in the firing line. I'm willing to wait even though my time is short.
We are all in this together. I will not sell out QOL, and further decimate the contract, for pay raises. I expect that the junior pilots will not sell me out by not addressing my retirement problem.
