In the end it is for the pilot of Delta to decide, not the reps.
As for the communication and transparency, I will work as hard as I can against the wall many feel they are pressed against to get communications improved. I cannot do it alone. I ask for your help and anyone else who wants our careers better to get involved on some level. It does not have to be a second job for you, it could be a few hours a month at home.
We need cost effective ideas that make sense. Like I said, think about it. I am trying to get more involved as you know, because at the end of the day, I think that there is change that I can affect. If I fail at least I tried. It will allow me to go forward knowing that I stepped up for this group to try and make a difference.
The best thing people can do is educate themselves on the issues. Talk to the other pilots in the crew room, debate on this board, and ask questions. If that does not satisfy you, get involved. It is mainly the reason I am.
