We can disagree based on facts. When you type about ALPA politicians making promises for management to act upon in the context of this thread I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.

Slow - OK I'm just not following your concern, you are going to have to be more specific.
Management hires pilots. Are you writing that Delta management has indicated a willingness to abide an enlargement of flow through agreements? If they have, I've missed it. In fact, last I heard management was a lot less than pleased with the idea of ceding their control over hiring Delta pilots.
Also, management promises of future employment have almost never been kept in this business. Again, I cite the example of the failures of flow through agreements at US Air, American and United. Pattern bargaining is one thing. When it leads to pattern failures
I trust the smart (and we have some very smart people at D-ALPA)
to lead us in a different direction.
For example, they did an outstanding job holding things together in our merger. They did a great job obtaining benefits for pilots in this transaction.
I'm just guessing at your point. Could you clarify with specificity?
