I am agreeing with King when I state "management" is watching. They should, it is one stop shopping when it come to DAL pilots. It is a great litmus test of how irked this group will be over this or that. The cross section of opinions on here is amazing. If I was trying to gauge if a decision was well taken or if it would be well taken I would have one of the ppl on here drop it and see how it flies. The results would allow you to tweak it, or add to it, if you were willing to take a little more heat. In effect this board is the greatest "Consumer Opinion Poll" for management and the union.
You say let them see, I agree, I do not care as it is what it is and no matter how "secretive" someone wants or tries to be with posing on the internet, it will always end up in someone else's hands. Why? Because there are ppl in every organization that are willing to sell part of their group and themselves' to move up.
To end the rant, post away, just realize that those who take the time to stay informed, listen to every bit of data they can find and connect the dots have many wondering how the heck they came up with that. To many like myself it is easy. It passes the "I would do that if I were running the ship" test. This group is diverse as this board is and because of that, it has gain a ton more attention that anyone wanted. Use that accordingly.
Acl,
Do not ever forget those words. I have know many a good man to say the same thing only to become a steward for the Union once they go to Herndon and drink the cool aide. Personal good friends that let themselves become Union first over the pilots, and I have lost good friends over this. Sort of like the self serving politicians in DC. I hope you never have to eat the above words. Good luck to you.
