CARL'S PLAN:

MEC Chairman flanked by negotiating committe films a web video stating the following:

1. C2K contract restoration is the number one priority in this Section 6 opener. Absolutely nothing less will be accepted.

2. Outsourcing of flying done under the Delta banner must begin to be undone. No more outsourcing contracts of any kind can be signed by management, and the existing ones cannot be extended. No exceptions.

3. All out efforts will be used at all levels of ALPA national and DALPA to put limits on the time that NMB can refuse to allow an impasse to be declared. If ever there was an issue where all our political clout must be used, this is it.

4. All pilots should begin an austerity plan today. Save up at least one year's worth of living expenses in case a strike is the only answer at the end of Section 6 negotiations.

5. Fight like hell right this second to begin this process.

And I'm just a humble greenskeeper.
