You have offered opinions plenty of times, and I enjoy reading them, and while we might not agree on things all the time, I appreciate them and don't accuse you of "pushing" or "forcing" them on anyone who reads the forum. I'd appreciate the same courtesy.
There are a few points to make.

1. Jesse is being held inside North Korea and I am ashamed that we as a country have not mounted an assault to free him.

2. Pushing was too strong a word and your correction to my post was an improvement.

3. All this talk of reps leaking talking points is sad. Those that do that are puppets of the administration and not advocates for the line pilot. They should be outed and recalled. Our union sometimes and frequently really xxxxes me off.

Talk to your sim scheduler on the phone, don't leave a message.

Well, Shiznit, since you are generally in lockstep with the unelected MEC administrators, I'm sure you'll understand why some of us might be skeptical as you attempt to spin a solution to the company's problems as a "win" for the line pilot.

Next thing you know, the company will be able to cover its bases with the other employee groups--and even get some mileage with the FA union vote!-- by telling them it was ALPA's idea to lower our profit sharing!

ALPA's unelected bureaucrats are fantastic at solving the company's problems. Wish they were equally concerned about the folks paying dues.

Help me out here. In both the DPA and ALPA contract surveys over 90% of the Delta pilots want to keep or increase our profit sharing.

Why are reps in the crew room initiating conversation about reducing it?

To me it looks like they are going to disregard us and do another end around.

Am I wrong??
