But you sound like an ignoramus to imply one man unilaterally gave the company something for nothing. A majority of our reps, in conjunction with and on the recommendation of a well-informed, hard-working and pilot-friendly scheduling committee chair, decided to strike the deal they did. Your hyperbole on the matter perfectly illustrates why we don’t need thousands of pilots group-thinking our way onto direct- electing a snake oil salesman promising to take management to the woodshed.
Ted I usually agree with and like your posts here. However, this is way out there for you. The point is we negotiated for it in C19, which means we gave something up. Then DALPA (specifically DH) give that negotiated item back. HOw would you feel if it was something more apparent, like DH seating? Say he just decided to go back to the old way to resolve a grievance? It's no different here with the batch sizes.
