Great news on the SDPs dying! :)

Now what is the best combination of browser and ad blocker to eliminate these annoying pop up ads that come complete with audio?

Thanks Scoop

I think it speaks to the power of this forum. I lurk here frequently when something like a TA discussion is going on. It is the only place I know to get up to date info.

It also motivated me to email my reps that I would reject the TA because of the CDOs. Apparently the squeaky wheels were heard.

We really need our own private DALPA forum again.

I lurk on that forum on occasion. After one reply, it turns into an ALPA vs DPA debate with the same guys taking over every thread.

I'd say the influence of the forum world had a good influence here. Revised TA passed...no memory rat.

I wonder. I think real, live human beings making phone calls is the real driver. But this place served to get the word out on these mysterious THTTSNEBMA.

Shall we just simplify it and call the CDOs "voldemorts?"

Our choice today is to text your rep for memrat or a delay to get more member input.......in other words, we become the angry vocal body.

The CODs (I think we need to call them what they are going to be called - SDP) don't effect me and I'll vote with you guys if given a chance, but here is why they strike me as "odd" and not for us. No, I don't think they are anymore unsafe that a lot of the other crazy back of the clock stuff we do......But........we all worked hard to get to "the majors". I like Delta (better than NWA) because it's a classier act. The company wants the efficiencies that NWA or RJ world has as we pick up more and more of the old RJ type flying, fair enough........but no. That's not who we are, we're older and have paid our dues.

At the majors, there's a dress code (name the movie reference for a beer - think baseball):cool:
