flying and enforcing our contract is an "illegal" "form of concerted activity?" :eek:

and we wonder why we get crushed in negotiations.

Instead, we get a weakly worded, impotent suggestion from DALPA that does nothing to unify us or exert our leverage.

I predict, based on past performance, that only a small percentage of us will "push to test," and the vast majority will happily and/or cluelessly tether themselves to Mother Delta.

Pathetic.

it also makes me wonder how much alpa will really represent me if I follow the PWA to the letter and get called in to do a carpet dance.

I like that idea, since everyone would be doing the same thing instead of the do what you want yard sale ALPA is recommending. And the company reads those memos too. You want to talk about leverage. Why do I always feel like we have Busch League negotiators?

Another botched policy here as well:

"The recent All Pilot Bulletin (APB) spells out the company’s method of implementing the FAR Part 117.19(a). The company has stated that, by signing the release, the PIC is agreeing to the maximum permissible FDP Limit extension, if required, for that flight. If for any reason the PIC cannot agree to that, he must contact the dispatcher. If, after signing the release or after pushback, the PIC determines that he can no longer agree to an extension, he must contact the dispatcher."

Per the email put out by DALPA two hours ago, reminding of the new company policy.
