You tout recalls as if that is justification for something. So if I have it correctly, the whole of ATL LEC was recalled and the hard liners put in place. After TA2 there was a rift between the CA reps and the FO reps....I don't understand that since they were put into office for ostensibly the same reason...my how fickle times can be and how quickly views change.....or better yet maybe you can explain to me...
How in hell can Malone who was brought in to fix the debacle of TA1 and did so by bringing in arguably the best contract ever(at least by voting standards and would probably be even better today) got ousted? Can you spell FICKLE? It is truly human nature....grass is always greener to
That is unfrikking believable...I attribute it to no matter how good things are, there are people who want the power and they throw out platitudes and "what if's" and armchair quarterback and use the perfect knowledge of history to point out "shoulda, woulda, coulda's. Some of the gullible eat it up.
So now..
The new "tough regime change" brings in virtual bases? If any of the old guard had done this I can only imagine the hew and cry. Plenty of people with opinions about VB but no spear chukking at the "leaders " that let it come to fruition, but plenty of **** and vinegar about the VB in general. Isn't that what you all are clamoring for ? The MEC should "protect "us, isn't that the argument..
So the old guard let us decide on TA1 and the the new "hard liners" do what? Oh, they let us decide on VB. Shouldn't they have just shut it down like you are suggesting about TA1? So what is it, can't have it both ways....unless it is all politics?
I don't know any of the players here but it seems pretty apparent that some of the "chit chat" crowd is here and alive and well....there is no middle ground, only "my way or the highway"
You all carry on...I'll resume my lurking
Cheers
"Simple answer and only one perspective?"
I guess you missed it when I said the whole thing was subjective.
Seems like you are looking to disagree with people who do not necessarily disagree with you.
Plenty of opinions, here is mine:
DALPA was dead wrong on TA-1.
The militant vote no on everything group we're just as wrong on TA-2.
It is pretty obvious who has an agenda - The DALPA can do no wrong crowd trying to revise the TA-1 history and the vote no on everything and hold our breath crowd that derides TA-2 and openly ridicules 82% of our then Pilot group.
Both are easy to spot on the forums. I have a lot of faith in average Line Pilot that didn't buy the sales job on TA-1 and did not buy into the we can can get whatever we want by simply demanding it on TA-2.
Fortunately the wisdom of the line pilots was spot on both times.😁
