Remember the "training pay" concocted in the 11th hour before we started class? 2500 for CQFOs who applied to DEC? The insult of the equity offering to employees valued at 5-1 of Series A with 4 planes on property? And where was DN? Nowhere to be found among the rank and file.
That was the beginning of people's desire for ALPA..
Because hope is not a strategy
You’d be surprised how many guys have short term memory though. It’s going to be a close vote but I think ALPA will be voted in. After that, who knows what neeleman will do. His tactics in the past was to “shut the airline down if we have to”.
