In what way is an active employee being screwed? I’m sure I’m missing it somehow. Oak notes?

I don’t have a shred of knowledge about any ‘drug deal’ with the company, if any. That may be a back room deal for all I know. And I’m not defending that. Just that the company has to know…

I am quite thankful for John Bell’s and Curly’s sites. Curly isn’t getting rich off his $2/mo fee and he didn’t raise prices when we went from 3 AEs a year to 12 mock and 12 real/year. Whether you clashed with him 10+years ago or not, his site has been accurate and comprehensive with loads of archived data ive long since purged but wish I hadn’t. Happy to pay him a few bucks for an optional service that is 10x what dalpa offers. (Not a knock on dalpa either, like it too)

Recreating Easy Swap and EasyBid suddenly seem within reach.

Oh my. That was a rude awakening that if I ever lose my medical, I’m fooked with no other marketable skills 😬

The UNA pilot that was making metal bag tags with your name and plane that said "Fly Delta Jets" got a cease and desist from Legal, as did the college age dependents of active employees that made a Travelnet app where you could list with 1-2 taps on the smartphone as well as a "what are my chances" function years before we got it on legacy travelnet....IIRC the app was free so they made zero money....DL shut it down!

They are very selective on who they go after.

I'm sure Curly is allowed because of the hundreds of millions him and his merry band of misfits that controlled the union for a decade saved the company.

One look at the ridiculous influencer pages confirms this. SMH.

so for those of us who were not here pre c2015, was he actively involved in the union? Or just vocally supportive like some other keyboard warriors?
