If we have no Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Company, ie. no contract, there's nothing to keep us from a wildcat strike, right? I'm no labor lawyer, but it seems the F/A's always do better than we do, just by threatening to get a union.

The Railway Labor Act. In other words, those damn train guys ruined it for us.

So Mike, why isn't the repealing or modification of the RLA ALPA's #1 priority.

Question #2: Why isn't it even on the agenda?

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Jack Dalrymple says Delta Air Lines' Philadelphia-area refinery got its first shipment of North Dakota crude oil this week.

The airline plans to make jet fuel from North Dakota oil at the factory.

Delta bought the idled refinery from a division of ConocoPhillips for $150 million. Delta has said it expects the refinery to save about $300 million annually in airline fuel costs.

Delta announced earlier this month that it will begin twice-daily flights between Dickinson and Minneapolis-St. Paul beginning June 10.

What I can gather, the MEC and its direction really surrounds three or four swing voters. None of these elections have been blow outs and for that reason more Reps should play the middle of the road instead of the extremes. They have more say that way.

They are all stand-up guys. What happens is that they end up in a bubble. In this bubble, they become one and most of them become sheep. This is is human nature. The DALPA/ALPA click does what is best for the click. At least that is what I am beginning to see.
