What did our "union" mean during those road shows when they talked about this deal producing growth and more money for all...if we just approve this "time critical" deal?

My hope is that many will remember who lied to them and who didn't. I hope none of us will ever again suspend our own sense of logic for the passionate and emotional scare tactics and sales pitches of the union official of the moment. If we could just do that, our futures will all be brighter.

Sue me for being positive. It's a better way to live - imo.

Are there legit gripes? Absolutely. Is DALPA perfect? Not even close. I am however, still very happy to be here. Want to cry about an unfair world? Feel free. I'm not going to join in or commiserate. I will hand you a tissue though.

Flt Ops is still fighting to begin hiring this year. When hiring starts the spigot will stay open for a decade. Very possible 321's w/330's on the way. Economy actually showing signs of life. Company estimating only 25% to 30% stay to 65. Signs of DAL life on West Coast. If only a 1/3d of what RA is planning happens, we are in for a rocket ship ride over the next 15yrs.

When the RFP results in an actual purchase, announced delivery dates, an AE with training that negates many of the soon to be MD'd I'll happily eat crow. Till then it's just blowing a sunshine you know where.
