If you want this industry to return, action will be required. Prater is a joke. He cowers before DAL and knows the dynasty can crumble. Our leadership are not workers. They poorly defend us and wow, now for almost a decade we have been buying the let's take it back mantra. We are now part of an association run by buddy's, homer's and jokers. Richard Anderson is pulling all of our strings....But we know better....Right.
If we are serious, we would really "Take it back."
The last thing the DCI pilots want is for the Delta pilots to form thier own union. If that happened then you would see the Delta pilots treat you much like the AA pilots treat Eagle. With ALPA, at least you still have DFR.
