They definitely brought their "A" game...

Is everything they publish in light pencil? Too cynical?

Congrats new Captains!
They filled 13 positions for 7erb in SEA. Check the reinstatements. I did not look at how many left but probably 3.

Oops I see you posted 3 did bid off so they filled exactly the 10 posted positions.

Wouldn't be the first time... and it's been problematic. If it paid like it once did, problem solved!

Crazy! It was a crazy time, I tell you. My first year at Delta was pretty great - for many reasons. I'm going on 6 and still love it here.

Au contraire. More than 5,700 (and growing) disagree with your premise.

This statement is bs. If that many guys supported, the vote would have happened by now. I was a strong DPA supporter at the beginning. I voted hell no to our current contract, and I'll probably vote no to every contract from here on out. I will not renew my DPA card though. I have decided that ALPA is the better choice. I will not vote on emotion.

I counted the NYC7ERB category shrinking by 7. I thought there were posted vacancies.

There were no posted vacancies for NYC7ERF/O. All of the AE's for that position were due to backfilling and there were 2 reinstatements. I counted it as a wash as equal people moved in that moved out so the category remains the same size.

You voted "he'll no" to C2012. You state that you'll "probably vote no to every contract from here on out (but you"will not vote on emotion")" even though you have no idea what will be in future contracts. Presumably you base this position (voting no) on the belief that ALPA has proven time and time again that they are incapable of delivering (on this I agree with you). And yet in spite of this reality, you believe "ALPA is the better choice"???????

You should put in a resume with the ALPA Comm Committee. I'm sure they could use your persuasive writing skills.
