Greatest thing about this job is leaving it behind me at release. I’m happy to have a few bubbas field our stupid questions at all hours of the day every day of the week. If they make a few bucks for their availability and eye gouging meetings, meh.

You know, as a line pilot you can just fly your trips, go home and turn your phone off and go about your day. Your ALPA volunteers can’t do that. They work all days of the week for the most part. And it’s a thankless job for many. If you don’t like something then go volunteer and change it. Oh that’s right, probably making too much picking up green slips.

OR… You could have a labor organization like APA where the Negotiating Chairman is flying premium trips every single month. A lot of Delta pilots live in a bubble. You don’t know how good it is here with our labor representation.

You’re literally defending the type of behavior you’re condemning.

You are correct, that is what we have done and it will end up putting far less money in our pockets and working longer under lesser work rules. Smart beats tough every time.

Even a recession isn’t a concessionary environment.

Nobody was talking concessions. Now that we have gone down the moon shot strategy however we should request a release from arbitration within 30 days. Delaying will not work in our favor.

The longer we delay, the deeper the recession, the weaker our position. It really is that simple. So get Ambrosi out, get the guy in that's going to do the job and let's roll.
