Seriously. Where do these jokers think we were stuck for the 10-15 years during the RJ glut (that they created).

3. It gets under management’s skin (see PB’s emotional tantrum over hats during an upgrade class visit last year).
4. There is absolutely nothing that management can do about it when adopted by >90% of the pilot group.
Lanyard slogan “keep your deals” basic. Or “rules of the road “ on one side “not a one way street” on the other. Lanyards that will last a bit: “contract 2026. Already mad about it!”

sad to see, but technology really kills the buzz.

when they fly through hail they blame the training department, when the lock the brakes they blame their shoes.
it’s cute and I hope it protects their licenses.
wait, you let them fly through hail and use manual brakes?
sounds like a you problem old timer

i cant wait until im old and sound like every generation ever since the dawn of time. Goddam kids these days, drawing on cave walls! Aint nobody got time for that!

Sounds like you need to chill the **** out, bruh
The lack of an omelette station limits my willingness to serve.

Oh no! A whole decade! 15 years!

Was that the decade when we got furloughed after 9/11 while the regionals hired and flew our routes, then slapped us in the face by telling us we had to resign our mainline seniority number to work there?

Yes, how patronizing of us to ask for a job to put food on the table whilst furloughed and the regionals grew, and not want to give up our Delta seniority number. Bet you fought pretty hard for us. Oh wait...

Then you threw us under the bus again by laughing in our faces as DALPA crumbled the 4th pillar and gleefully voting yes to get yours while we got left behind.

I have no idea what the numbers were during US Air (I will grant you that) but 2007 was when new hires started showing up. A lot of furloughs if not all were in effect in 2004 and after when the critical votes were taken.

If we are really into educating the new DAL pilots, I’ll start.

When you fly with someone who talks like this, stifle your laughter, and ask about their involvement in the union. Half the time it’s someone who has never volunteered or represented anyone in ALPA and just hate unions, but also ironically lose their minds that their union didn’t get them more (see recent post about abandoning them with the 4th pillar).

The other half of the time they will eventually share that they and their friends were voted out by some shady back room politics(not saying that DALPA politics aren’t petty and stupid because they shockingly are). These pilots will provide some insight into the personalities of the reps and MEC officers but you have to filter through the obvious bias.
