As for FPL, and the budget. I believe that the FPL Committee will be presenting findings and actions taken on this. Again, because of resolutions that were drafted and ratified in the local councils. The process is working.
What do I know? Really? The process was the process and the results are what they are. If pilots did not like the process, change the by-laws. That is again the process working towards the ends the pilots want.
This is beyond just broken. An organized take over is about all that can save it. Worked for the Egyptians. We all have Facebook and Twitter access????? Maybe Wilson Polling should be focusing on this for the next round.
You suggest an "organized takeover" of an existing organization. Well, that is reform of what we have, is it not? My point is do what you want with what we have, and if that is what you want, create your own Tea Party, and get Reps elected that will carry your will to the Master Level and the National level. That again is the process in action, and is what I have been stating is the direction we need to go in.[/QUOTE]
ACL;
I am guardedly optimistic (almost in agreement) with what you say in this blurb. The guarded part is that in most of the time I have been at Delta, ALPA has been a disappointment. DALPA also has had a fairly large number of disappointing moments too.
I have seen a change of course lately...the cynic in me says it is because of the DPA drive. The optimist in me says it is because the reps are listening. So, I am guardedly optimistic.
I dont have any personal fear of going with an in-house union. There continue to be litmus tests that the reps have to pass, but there has definitely been progress.
