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.
A little point about letting frustration boil over into negotiating with Delta management individually (even if not entirely serious).
We have a bargaining agent who represents us. We do not have the legal ability to negotiate except for through our exclusive agent.
A better strategy (if you want to be effective and not just engage in web board taunts) is to start targeting those within your representative's structure who are not representing you as you would like. Starting with communication and potentially ending with a recall attempt.
