Alternative facts.
They "really don't want to be reps". Who, in their right mind, "wants" to be a rep? Those who do, should be closely watched. From my interactions with them, they simply "want" to do the right thing on behalf of their fellow pilots.
Tying them both to DPA is baloney. One had some previous ties - just like thousands of other pilots, including JM, the former MEC Chair.
Grandstanding? Examples please.
Your "Clown" comment ranks right up there with Rocket Surgeons, Morons, NoRons and ***** Whiners. Name calling is the hallmark of a very loud minority in our ranks. Oh, let's not forget, "1,000 days, a billion dollars", too. Those descriptors originated from the same group who tried to shove TA1 down our throats, gobbled up $1.7M in Flight Pay Loss, fought tooth and nail to stop (justified) recalls in 2015, and now attack two of the guys who got us TA2. They were all in attendance yesterday supporting recall. Shocker.
Oh, and some chief pilots were in on the action yesterday, too.
The docile, disengaged pilot group is vulnerable to being overrun again with management apologists taking control of the MEC again.
History does repeat itself.
Help secure a big contract and get recalled. The Delta way.
