Until Delta starts a JV with the ME3.
If ALPA national gave half the effort in protecting our jobs from low cost pilots, low time pilots of foreign countries and the future whipsawing that is just a matter of time to occur on our property with Aeromexico and Westjet, we might actually call it a union, but until that time its just an association and all the chest thumping against the ME3 is just a show while the real threat is at our borders with poorly written JV language and open skies helping every airline but the US Airlines.
Yes it was a run on sentence!
I also wrote my politicians against ME3, so were are the quick links to protest this upcoming whipsawing against us as related to AeroMexico and Westjet?
This is going to make the RJ sellout look good! Maybe there will be a day DALPA pilots look past payrates/retro and relize there is a lot more to a contract then that!
