You are retired, just stop conveying the resignation and apathy. Guess what....the airlines above are just as likely to get released as well.
Delta produced a garbage contract in 2015 and we sent it back. Do you think Delta management gave us the contract we have now out of the goodness of their heart? They told us there was no more money on the table.
That was false.
The senior folks with the apathy need to display a little self respect. You guys are the reason Alaska pilots aren’t worth what Delta/American or United are. It’s not the Angle lake management team.
I remember the Delta ALPA sales job that was going on during 2015. I remember the video that was going around of the rep at a road show screaming himself hoarse about how PRB was the only possible outcome of a rejected contract. There was a lot of time value of money talk going on then as well. The Delta pilots saw through the crap and resoundingly rejected the subpar contract, and subpar union representation while they were at it. The results were more than worth the wait and effort.
I see a lot of the same tone on this thread now as well. If we can overwhelmingly reject the sales job like Delta pilots did, avoid arbitration like the plague, and all pull the same direction we will get similar results.
