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.
Scambo took the words out of my mouth in his post. Additionally, it appears that you're seeing what you want to see.

Then we'll have to agree to disagree, or it's the pot calling the kettle black, whichever cliché you prefer.

Like I told Scambo, respectfully. I'm not looking for "yes men/women." I would like very much to see a grande product, from the productivity of one, unified, 12000 member pilot group.

Instead, we have the same old one-line attack ads, drive-by posting against D-ALPA on an anonymous web forum expecting change. Awesome.

Unity will come when we know the mission and approve of it.

Now, I like to argue for scope, if DALPA said TA2015 = NO MORE OUTSOURCING, I'm game... but I know nowhere near 12,000 pilots would be game for it.

And if TA2015 = C2000 PAY! with some strings attached... you wouldn't have 12,000 in agreement.

Now if aliens attack the United States and its up to Delta pilots to fight them off by flying the line by flying Douglas products, I still don't think we can get 12,000 pilots unified.

There is a way to get higher than 60ish percent, but as slowplay said, not without stating the goal first.

For the record: I'll fly the Mad dog to save the U.S. from aliens.

Hey, it worked in Independence day! (and was a McD product, too)

what if the aliens are hot women?

see I imagine a race of alien women that misunderstood hydraulic fluid to be more important than electricity and cellphone signals. So they come and suck all the hydraulic fluid away, but, we have the maddog and fight back.

I got to meet Xtreme150 today. And he got to see what a drunken gorilla looks like flying an Airbus. He didn't want to sit in the jumpseat right behind me because he saw how much I was "accidentally" rubbing the other guy's leg throwing stuff in the trash.

You might gain some insight as to the depth of knowledge and experience some of these pilots have.

Your "bureaucratic inertia" is another person's "jesh, we negotiated >8% more than our peers when we did Contract 2012 ... lets stick with what works." Is it enough? Will it ever be enough? We will always want and try to get, more.

I'm going to try and refrain from insulting you in the fashion that you insult so many who work for you. Rather, you are encouraged to learn, even gain experience if you want to pitch in and help.
That is excellent advice...I only wish more would heed it. It is challenging and possibly enlightening to have your ideas (both pro and con) vetted by outside sources. Much easier I'm afraid to hang in the shadows and throw eggs. (not meant as an indictment of Purple or anyone else specifically)
