Wake up. Look at the UPS pilots. Ground workers go out, so did we. Mechanics go out, so did we. Now look at our contract. Because we now have the support of our fellow workers.
I just think your worried that the $ pie is just so big, and you dont want one red cent going anywhere but in your wallet.
Typical arrogant Delta pilots. And you have to know your talked down about industry wide for the last 20 years because of your superior attitudes.
Now go wear that AFA pin!!
Actually you need to wake up. Delta doesn't have anywhere near the revenue of UPS nor any profits. AFA is an inferior and ineffective organization and I don't want it infecting my airline or its culture.
You say "Look at our contract" okay, think I'll do that. It pails in comparison to what we had just a few years ago. (while we had non-union work groups) It could be reasoned that your company wide union allegiance is why you currently fly for almost $100/hr less than we did 7 years ago on certain equipment.
ALPA is a necessary evil in regards to safety. Employees are much more effective, not to mention happy, working in a merit based environment.
