Fwiw I do agree with you. I'd love for our union to say what you've preached for years. It just gets old seeing people on here belittle one another. I still can't believe the immature writing I see from our fellow pilots written in the bathroom stalls in Atlanta. I thought I hired on at the big D with a bunch of professionals who were above that childish behavior. I guess when we can act like professionals we just might get paid like them again. Instead we fight amongst ourselves.
Dear Dalpa,
Please just says this. "The pilots at Delta have waited long enough. It's time to restore what was taken from us in bankruptcy. Delta is enormously profitable, in part due to the sacrifices we made. It's beyond time that we get a return on that investment. Our pledge to you, the Delta pilot, is to obtain a contract that returns our compensation, plus inflation, to its rightful place. A cadillac every month."

Ps. It's called a moose knuckle and that was from one big moose!!

For those who don't already know, the attorney in question is Lee Seham. Lee is a very tough attorney who has beaten ALPA in court many times, and has referred to ALPA national as a wife beater and ALPA members as being the battered spouses.
So you can see that a lover of all things ALPA like alfaromeo would throw this kind of emotional tantrum. Carry on Alfa.

Okay, I really don't know the answer to this question, but I sense another Carl-sized whopper in the works so I will take the shot. Please list all these cases that Lee Seham has won against ALPA. If you include the United SLI case, everyone should know that the arbitrators refused to even read his email and every other lawyer simply laughed at the submission. So other than this, lets list the cases and include what exactly he won.
I also do not know the answer. Get back to us when you aren't restricted by your iPhone and have the chance to provide more details.

I'm thinking the DPA campaign has not been anywhere near that expensive.

Brief interruption:
Contemplating a trip out to Grand Teton/Yellowstone Parks or Bryce Canyon/Zion area.
Any opinions on which to do, tips, recommendations, personnal experiences? I don't think we have time to adequately do both in the same trip (@9 days).
We would have two younger kids in tow.
Never having been to any of them we are not sure which direction to go. Yosemite is another consideration.
Thanks

Yellowstone in August is pretty awesome for kids because of the amount of wildlife viewing available. Hayden Valley will still have lots of bison and elk that are easy to see. Up in the northeast corner of the park the grizzlies are moving pretty well. If they like this kind of stuff you can join horse tours near Roosevelt lodge, and there are plenty of waterfalls still moving adequately for a show. They'll get a kick out of the geysers (and their smell) as well.
If you have military affiliation make sure you bring ID. Most cards get you in for free. Also, if you're driving at dusk or just after dark, be careful. The deer play a game of "try to wreck the tourist cars" on the 2 lane park roads with limited sight distances. Might want to consider "walk away" protection for your rental car.

Who's squandered more money? The DPA campaign or DALPA accepting bankruptcy as a reset on our behalf? I'll bet the average Delta pilot has had around $100K/year "squandered" for the past 10 years. That's a total squander in the neighborhood of $1 million each. If there are 9000 of us who've been here during that whole time period, that's a grand total squander of $9 billion. I'm thinking the DPA campaign has not been anywhere near that expensive.
