Can we play the identification game again?

How many of these do we have to do? I have done a lot this year, wont another one fall on deaf ears?? They get the same "crafted" letter 3000 times or more.

Ok, submitted again. Playing this silly game. Of course we want our jobs.:rolleyes:

Does it help? Who knows

Can it hurt? Nope.

I fill them out because I have seen (first hand) politicians inquire as to how many of our members support a given issue. It gives our government affairs guys more ammo when they are in there dealing with (sometimes) irrational, (nearly always) short-sighted, self-serving politicians that only seek to please the highest bidder OR the one that can offer them votes/influence/support.

We are at a severe disadvantage in DC because "they" will always have deeper pockets. We need every edge we can get, and then it still might not be enough.

Good on you Diesel for seeing the importance of these issues, even as a "Delta noooob." I think we may have met about a month ago. War Eagle?:D

Ten, thanks for filling it out again. It is a pita, but worth our time.

That's a Mitsubishi "Tool Bag."

As many as it takes, right? We need to be like Andy Dufresne: Dear Mr. Dufresne, here are your books, but for God's sake quit writing us.

Andy Dufresne? Same Andy Dufresne that were abused by the Sisters down in the laundry? The guy that spent all that time down in solitary and was hung by the shirt collar four stories up. The Andy that was rich lawyer and then a forgotten convict? The one that crawled through a mile of human dung? The poor soul that caught Susan Sarandon on the downside? No, I don't want to be like Andy.

I got a robo call from our MEC chair about the ME Carriers Call to action. He was very passionate and fired up about this! I realize this is a threat and we need to address it.

I just wish his message on 2015 was as passionate and fired up! The communication from him on our negotiations sounds like we already lost.

IMHO contract 2012 2.0 is around the corner.

Some of our politicians are still fighting the good fight. I know my representative personally. He is often under attack because he's not on the take. He is a signer of our fair open skies letter. A republican and a legitimately good and smart man.

Yes he did fud. The only reason it keeps getting rehashed is because you deny the quotes and the truth. Why you do this, is another question.

Incorrect. Ed and Richard stated in multiple documents (posted right here on APC years ago) that the pilots 2012 contract was cost neutral and that the savings would allow Delta to invest in initiatives that benefit other employees at Delta.

As you well know, the quarterly reports don't state pilot costs.

Intersting that you use the word "offsets." Does everyone see how clever that is? What he really means is concessions. The work rule, sick leave and scope concessions coupled with the profit sharing concessions is what allowed management to make the accurate claim that our 2012 contract was cost neutral.

Ok Carl, so how do you explain the huge increase in pilot costs over the last 3 years or is Delta management forging their financial reports?
