I read it and see one thing here to keep in mind - they're still looking at it.
I'm going to wait to light the powder.
Because it is true that the NMB didn't declare STS on that 07APR ruling. Thus it does not allow us to immediately file a grievance over a scope violation. It opened the door to find them STS. This has to be brought back before the NMB again before we can have them declared STS and file.
Although there is a different way I'd like to see this coming out. It should be, hey, good news, NMB issued a statement about RAH being STS for representation. That ruling doesn't allow us to file a grievance per se, but it gave us a lot of ammo we hope to use to show STS and therein file a grievance.
But that's not very tactful but what I am reading here seems very weak but slightly hopeful.
Now don't ask me what I think will come out in May but for now I will hold out a little bit of hope.
This is like the morning after a big lottery drawing, I don't want to know if I won, just let me dream about my A-26 for a few more hours.
Imagine the irony if that occurred though.
You should change your statement to read, "I'm a Delta pilot, and we do not light the powder." If the powder was going to be lit, it would have happened years ago. We have proven time and time again that no matter how much wrong ALPA does, we will do nothing to stop it. I keep hearing how if ALPA gives us on scope one more time, they will pay. Well the truth is ALPA is still giving up on scope every single day. I'm done talking about this. We really should stop discussing scope. We have none. In the long run, the smallest aircraft Delta will fly will be the 320. The only reason why I think the line will be drawn there is because our 757's will be replaced by 321's that will pay the same as our leftover 320's.
