Now that I've told you, I'm going to have to kill you...

p.s. there's a great section for how to operate your new Surface tablet.
I still want to find this elusive list of APC names.

For now they've proven themselves incompetent enough to render DALPA's foibles irrelevant.

If C2015 proves to be truly historic, then DPA will truly be a stone dead parrot.

Until we see what DALPA actually agrees to, the arguments here are pretty tired and best left to the relevant thread.
Good point. A lot of things would have to both come together on the DPA side and a f'd up C2015 would have to happen.

From the sound of it, both the company and DALPA are working to expedite the process.

Hopefully it's better than what's written on the wall in the men's room...

I don't understand that claim. After C2012, how would you plot the trajectory of DPA? If C2012 was as unpopular as you infer, wouldn't it have gotten stronger?

In all likelihood, C2015 will be another opportunity for some pilots here to confirm that their criteria for an acceptable contract is not shared by most of their peers.

DPA ceased being relevant a long time ago.
At this point it seems like DPA is mostly being kept alive by the ALPA guys.

It's certainly ironic, but Caplinger's ineptitude has become useful for ALPA.

+717, yet hope springs eternal in the hearts of the terminally discontent.
