the only reason the “adversarial” thing started is because Delta pilots started standing up for themselves.

there was no need for discord prior to TA1 because Delta pilots just took whatever management offered as soon as they could.

The company hasn’t changed its labor relations outlook one iota.

i think you’re correct. The animosity started when they were making 5 billion and low balled the 2016 contract imo

All it takes is an awareness of your value as an LCP, and the fortitude to tell standards to pound sand when they want you to go from teaching to policing. If they don’t like that, they can waste money training a new LCP, who will ideally tell them to pound sand as well.

I was impressed with how many LCPs participated in the hats off campaign.

Yep. Been approached about it twice now.

When I tell them no you'd think I just committed an act of heresy.

The money isn't even worth it either. Way easier to make more money just green slipping whenever you want.

Also schedulers expect you to work in your days off. Ummmm no thanks. Had a LCA telling me that they were about to let his quals expire because he didn’t volunteer on his days off.
