You do realize that reps are line pilots who fly the line 3 weeks out of the month? They are not on full time flight pay loss. they do quite a bit of work on their unpaid time. Maybe you could say "thank you" to your reps at some point. Instead of assuming they are just trying to sell you out.

I think they've done a damn sight more than any DALPA MEC since bankruptcy. Would you rather they brought you a **** contract like C12, before the amendable date?

Partly agree. We all know most likely JA is out the door without a contract being signed. And ALPA seems to be more a self serving organization than anything. Write them about the KCM fiasco and see how they respond (they will just deflect blame - to the TSA or to the local LEC's, anyone but themselves). This vote has at least partly restored my faith in this profession and Delta pilots. Glad that a 99% majority of 96% of us can agree on a position. Incredible really when you think about it in today's polarized world and see all the bickering that goes on in here.

Check out C16’s vice chair schedule for October and get back to me on that ‘flying the line 3 weeks of the month’ thing.

I know you can’t wait to vote yes but the good ol days are gone. We have as a group decided to wait for the right deal, not the first and easiest.

Great job everyone. I am relieved. Every time I saw a hat I would get nervous.

They could bring us a contract yesterday. It would probably look similar to the United TA. But hey, they would have “done something”, right?

Holding the line against insulting proposals is doing something. Beyond that, anything is speculation. None of us really know the details, I am, however, certain that an agreement as malodorous as the United one could be achieved rather quickly if you want to do something.

I’ll see that, and raise you SJs schedule. Most of this MEC is dug in like an Alabama tick on the Flight Pay Loss teat.

Thank you ALPA and thank you Delta pilots. Made me proud to see these numbers.

You're gonna have to prove that one sport. If they do fly 3 weeks per month every month, then l will apologize. They would be the first in my entire time here to have them do so.
