The push for the DPA "divided" this pilot group, & was (possibly) the reason we ended C2012 with what we did, not more.

I analogize PD's posts(attitude) to be as divisive to this group as when 5000+ pilots wanted a change of bargaining agent, DURING negotiations.

We are again, less than one year away from exchanging a contract opening position with the company. Honest question: Do you want our pilot group divided again?

I've said it before & will say it again. I've been at an ALPA carrier for my entire time in the airline industry. (12-years) I am not a cheerleader for ALPA National. I am not Pro-ALPA on every issue. But I am Pro-Unified front!! (You're welcome, Bar.) Show me a better alternative to D-ALPA & I'm all ears. Until then, we ALL need to be behind our current bargaining agent for the upcoming C2015 negotiations for the benefit of the entire Delta pilot group & professional pilot industry.

 

Got it thanks guys

 

I say again, where has PD shown any support for the DPA whatsoever in recent times? Where in his post was he vying for a different bargaining agent? Focus!

 

His attitude shows divisiveness for the pilot group & the bargaining agent we currently have on property.

He, you & 5000+ others who ONCE supported the DPA, are the one's who need to FOCUS on unity, behind one CBA, as ONE pilot group. Do I need to remind you how ineffective the DPA was? Read again what I wrote. PD hasn't supported the DPA since Dec., (Maybe it was Jan. when his card expired?) BUT his ATTITUDE, through his posts, continues to support anything anti-ALPA.

 

Between the robocall snafu and our perspectives on PD's posts, has anyone noticed the extraordinary improvement to PBS, namely the Award Pairing Number if Departing On (Ordered) new bid option?

That is what guys have been asking for for years--the ability to rank order trips on the same line and avoid the drudgery and additional bid preferences of having to do it on separate lines.

Good work PBS committee!

 

Just a quick shoutout for my fellow music lovers. I watched a movie called searching for Sugarman tonight...fantastic true story. If you like music and a really good true story, it'll get under your skin.

It's amazing to me the subject of the movie was not bigger than Bob Dylan or Neil Young.

 

THEY FIXED THAT!? I gotta go look. I'm excited. You excited? I'm excited.

 

You do realize that reading your post, you only want yes men.

Additionally, none of us can know what PD's "attitude" is, we can only judge his behavior. Typically attitude does dictate behavior.

As far as I'm concerned, DPA is a booger that won't flick.

 

Not at all, Scambo. In my current Guard unit, "yes men" are the attitudes I most dislike. What I want is PRODUCTIVITY!! PD's posts don't garner such product of productivity. Believe it or not, he (PD) and I agree on many topics. It is his continual "message" that I dislike, as was the same with DPA's message.

That's all. Just a product.

 

Is that the one where the guy flopped in the states but was a massive sensation in South Africa? If so, I've heard really good things about it!
