When an MEC starts empathizing a little too much with management the pilots get burned every time.
Steenland or one of our previous illustrious DAL-N exec's was once overheard commenting "think how much money we could make if we didn't have any employees"........
You couldn't be more correct. That's the beauty of this forum. It gives us (the line pilot) the ability to discuss these things, more or less unfettered. Perhaps we can all agree on some issues that we will collectively hold our union responsible. At the same time, we have to know exactly where we stand within the industry. It's very nice to have some guys on here that have some idea of where we are as a company, perhaps a little idea of where we are going. I'm alway grateful for the"Presidential Briefings" Thanks!
