When asked about the CPZ question:
"Why are you complaining, your flying a very popular airplane, it's not going anywhere"
-As far as I know we don't come w/ the airplane, and I thought ALPA represents pilots not airplanes. He then turns his back to us in a very rude way, which tells us how he feels about us and our cause. Every time I've asked our union reps about the CPZ issue they turn their heads away and avoid the question. I've never had a direct answer given to this situation.
hence the disconnect and the problems. If thats how he feels than its a problem. When ou have some saying "thats not how he feels, its just a rumor" and others who've personally heard him say these things, theres a problem. the union needs to set the record straight and put the "fire" out if thats not the case. Unfortunately, with the number of people who've personally heard him speak and say these things its hard to say thats not what he really means
Outsourcing OUR careers is never acceptable whether its at te top or the bottom! Thats what scope relief does and if the MEC doesnt see that then theres a huge disconnect that needs to be fixed. I'm all for working with mgmt but IF stuff like that is said then it points to him wanting to solve mgmts problems before ours!! We can fill our own planes but We've enabled mgmt to fill them with NONE Delta pilots. that needs to reverse trend.
