1. Ask RA so he can say no thereby galvanizing the pilots.
2. The MEC Chair is elected so he can represent the pilots from a jail cell if necessary... Not so he can smoke cigars with Congress people. Ditto for The ALPA prez. The fact that you and they see it differently is part of the problem.
I wish our MEC had the guts to try HARD to get us a midcontract raise to SWA parity. That would set up UCAL for greatness and then a better raise for DAL pilots in 2012.
You are such an apologist I just dont think you have any idea how out of touch you really are.
^^^^^^^ EXACTLY!!
This opportunity can provide:
1. New Dalpa leadership can shock its members with by showing some brass ones. Something most of us have not seen in a LONG time, as evidenced by all the union apologists on this thread who are always trying to manage expectations.
2. Forces RA to come up with a quotable response that will be immortalized on 12000 morale stickers, galvanizing the pilot group towards our common PWA 2012 goals.
3. Educates a very large group of pilots that are "content" and ignorant of what the rest of the industry is doing. I
still fly with guys who think SWA makes less than us, and B6 guys get fired after 5 years; making $80K in the left seat of an Airbus. Their response to facts...." well, don't believe everything you read on the internet..."
Unbelievable, I know, but unfortunately reality for some who are armed with a vote.
