They don't want to blame the system or the process.
Please read your zip lines and notes from Delta's concessionary bargaining. ALPA did in fact, sell us out for bargaining credits which were then used to offset concessions in other sections of the contract. Subsequent concessionary bargaining resulted in those credits being wiped away, but the results of the scope sale continue effecting us.
We were sold out. We just sold out to someone who failed to pay. The net effect is that we gave away jobs.
While you criticize our lack of unity, today we learn that a contract negotiated by our Association's President has resulted in more than 100 ALPA member's jobs being outsourced to a non ALPA carrier. That my friend is an objective failure of unity.
Every member's job sacrificed results in the loss of a portion of ALPA's representational relevance.
Unity is Delta pilots performing Delta flying.
