DALPA has made many mistakes including some on Scope it’s too bad you weren’t on property to lead us through BK.

I would have loved to been on property then so I could take a 42% paycut and STILL be making 6 figures. Instead, we are all making $20k a year with bad benefits and minimal retirement working all but 10 days a month.
Moral of the story: yes, you had to make some sacrifices. But don't stand up on your soap box and preach to people who fought poverty wages for an additional 7-10 years that you all had it so rough or that you did what you did so I can reap the benefits now. You did it for you.
