And this new slate of reps still refuses to even ASK the company for a mid contract partial pay restoration. They take up the same, tired old mantra of "what are you willing to give up to get that?" Sounds to me like SSDD. Maybe the structure per se is okay. But the culture appears to be too ingrained to be able to penetrate. I see very little change from the same path Lee Moak put us on. And I think that spells disaster for any chance of real unity. You can't unite this pilot group around the idea that the rest of our careers are going to be mediocre and we should just accept that.
Spot on description of our problem as Delta pilots. This is EXACTLY what ALPA wants us to "unite" around. T.O. is Moak's hand picked successor.
We will have an uphill road to climb in obtaining an industry leading contract because we will be fighting our own union every bit as hard as management.
