Guys.. Stop the freak out, seriously.

Express your concerns to the reps and they can consult with the REAL labor law attorneys that we employ determine just WTH is going on and how it impacts our PWA.....

It might be a real issue, it might turn out to be nothing at all.

Slight problem.... who is we ?

ALPA attorneys work for ... ALPA.

If the problem is ALPA, then you're going to the wrong attorney.

That's the screwed up nature of this problem.

As far as I know, the Delta MEC does not have independent Council.

Guess we could just let this thing blow up and fight another big regional airline lawsuit for a decade, pay a bunch of money and waste a pile of time ... or the MEC Chairmen from Delta and another Major could pick up the phone to Herndon and say "knock it off." I'm hoping someone has the good sense to pick up the phone.

Well, we didn't do that on this most recent contract. With the lack of qualified applicants for regionals increasing, the power is swinging back to mainline pilots.

Moke: "Whoops, sorry guys. I'll let you know next time. But I mean, come on, really. It's not like Im not a Delta pilot too."

I can't imagine the outrage if he tried this with the Fedex group.

There is more to this story than Bar's history lesson and a policy manual faux pas. Call me paranoid, but this little event with Pinnacle demonstrates the continuing Lorenzo-ization of this industry.

We play nice at DALPA, but if you think a simple innocuous undercutting of bargaining rights is acceptable, you are fooling yourself.

The "lunatic fringe" raises all kinds of conspiracies and blames the union for not doing this or that...If this PNCL contract flies and gets signed, the fringe elements are correct.

To catch a crook, you have to think like a crook. IMO, strategic planning is sorely lacking especially in its efforts to "restore" the profession. Strategic planning step 1: Define the desired "end state" for all ALPA carriers...all follow on steps lead us on a path to the desired end state.

If any Union business is not conducted with the desired end state always at the forefront, then we have an ineffective strategy.

LM the leader of ALPA and former leader of DAPLA, he should of all people on planet earth said "stop" DALPA needs to be here. LM's fault, with a degree of DAL's for not doing the same.

To the person who said TW devious desire to get to DAL, I call bs. TW would still have to interview with this and I think he is a stand up guy. His job is first to the Pinnacle pilots and LM was there.

Now there's an oxymoron if I have ever seen one. Give me an example of the "power" we have shown recently?
