Uh, and what exactly do you think these forums are? Just a HUGE rumor mill. If people really wanted to know what was happening, they wouldn't look here, they would either wait, patiently, or call their reps and ask. thats what I did, and I surprisingly had a great convo with the MEC chair. Almost an hour in fact. For those of you (like I was) who are doubting the union....Please call them! there is so much that they are not allowed to say on a public forum due to negotiations and strategy. If you have any anger about this situation (like I DID!!!!), it should be towards MGT and Delta.
But bottom line we all CHOOSE to be in this profession. And that includes the up's......and the downs. So lets all buck up, stand together, and show MGT that we will not fight among ourselves, which is what they want.

One other thing, the union needs extra volunteers, in many areas. They are super short and those who are helping are using their own days off to do union work that helps all of us. Lets get involved. And note, less than a dozen JFK pilots voted in the last election...... stop fingering your mouse pad and put your hand up! ;-)
