They will try to control the message, reeducate the pilots, and manage expectations. I've seen it time after time after time. (And no, it's not "black helicopters"... it's the truth!) They are NOT going to change! And so many guys have given up in frustration... just disengaged... you are never going to get enough people to participate to get these clowns recalled.
So, from where I sit, something like DPA is the only possible solution. They got 2300 cards so far. That is not an insignificant number! And with this RAH thing, I suspect they are about to get a whole bunch more. When the momentum shifts... and we finally have an association representing us that is solely focused on the agenda of the Delta pilots and on putting our profession and our careers back on track, then you will see many more become engaged and we will finally have that "unity" you keep talking about. Sorry, ACL, I know that's not what you want to hear... but that's the only possibility I see for it to happen.
I know you do. I am not there yet, not by a long shot.
How many resolutions have been "Received" since the new administration took over? The reps have stated repeatedly that they are not in that business any more. Until they prove otherwise, lets give them credit.
On the RAH thing, firing from the hip is dangerous and it is wise to have all of the facts first. I suspect that given the wording of that Communication from the MEC, they are doing just that. They will be judged by this action going forward. Lets remember that in that same communication they decided to file another Section 1 Group Grievance of equal importance. Might what to check around and see how long they were gathering facts on that once before they hit the "fire" button.
