Look I am not saying that what is going on here is right. It definitely is not. I just see a bunch of guys that are ready with pitchforks and torches, and there is much to be determined as to the value of this transgression. Like most violations that occurred on the south side prior to the merger, this will more than likely be taken care of before the need for everybody to lawyer up.
I'll bow out of this one and watch the show from the sidelines.

It wasn't meant to be disrespectul, and I agree that we have all contributed (or unfortunately, also at times regressed) collectively. Many guys forget that our C2K rates were piggy-backed on UAL's C2K rates...which were themselves derived from what they called the "Delta Dot" which was a line drawn from the DAL 737-800 rates up to the 777 rates...and our 737-800 rates ($190/hr back in 1997 or 98) were themselves piggybacked on AA pilots getting $186/hr for it prior to that!

That's a fair question. And the answer might be to go even deeper into the violation. As there are no liquidated damages associated with contract violations... an arbitor decides that... what would they have to lose at that point. As someone else pointed out, we are talking about a very small amount of money here.
Look I am not saying that what is going on here is right. It definitely is not. I just see a bunch of guys that are ready with pitchforks and torches, and there is much to be determined as to the value of this transgression.

PS: T, I'm glad you took Purple off your ignore, it makes for better reading.

They always seem to be telling us we have to vote for their concessionary deals because we should be very afraid what management or the govt or the judge or whoever might do to us if we don't capitulate and go along with the program.
The company is solidly profitable yet we are still working for essentially the bankruptcy contract plus some COLA.
And to get that little 4,8,3,3 COLA we had to give huge productivity concessions.
Isn't it about time to get up off our knees?
Why does DALPA continue to do business in an entirely reactionary, defensive manner? We have some bargaining power here. Why not stand up? Is it intentional? Is it Moak?

Don't know of you have figured it out yet, but I just completed 88 normal re-qual and you do not have to do an ESV. I was also confused with the letter and called the training manager to confirm.

I actually haven't taken either him or Carl off ignore, but sometimes there is a little bird that says.... read it. Sometimes he is interesting, but Carl is... well.... not.
