Carl,
These days I am totally confused by DALPA's actions and throw around a lot of "what tha's" when I talk about them. I still don't believe it is an ALPA problem because:
1.) No one has ever told me if we "switched" and elected the same people for the new organization, how things would be different. &
2.) No one has explained why the new United ALPA can take much stronger positions than us on scope, pay, and operational issues, and we can't. (and their pilot group still tried to recall their leadership.)
I want to know what is going on with our people, and I'm about to address one of them -- or, at least what I believe to be the mindset -- right now.
Wish me luck.

The famed conflict of interest has resulted, in the "See, right there." National does not do my bidding with my company, DALPA does, and that would not change with a new union.

I can't see a whole lot taking it, and it's probably the folks who were going early anyway.

I know a few who are waiting to see how bad the AE is going to be. (Displacements and base moves)

A gynecologist at The Villages community near Orlando, Fla., said she treats more cases of herpes and the human papilloma virus in the retirement community than she did in the city of Miami.
"Yeah, they are very shocked (to hear the diagnosis)," gynecologist Dr. Colleen McQuade said. "I had a patient in her 80s."
"More and more senior citizens are ending up in the gynecologist office, and their diagnosis is a sexually transmitted disease," Local 6 reporter Vanessa Medina said.
Local 6 featured Louis Franklin, who used to date in the community at least three times a week.
"I have had a better dating life since I have been here than I have ever had," Franklin said. "I know there are things going around."
A doctor blamed Viagra, a lack of sex education and no risk for pregnancy for the spike in sexually transmitted diseases at The Villages.
"All I can repeat are the things I have heard which are things like, 'Should I bring the little blue pills over tonight?'" community singles group president Richard Matwyshen said.

Today, Delta is flying 3 757-300's and 2 757's from MSP to SEA. Some of those aircraft will fly with the Alaska code on it. If you are going to have a code share then both sides are going to have to have some benefits. Why would Alaska management or the Alaska pilots ever agree to a deal where Delta gets to "own" flying in their hubs, but Alaska doesn't get to "own" flying in their hubs.
Using your analogy, the Alaska pilots should be offended by all those A-330's and 767's flying out of their hub in Seattle.
If Delta did not have a code share, what is the chance that Alaska would not fly from MSP to SEA? We don't have a code share with American and I see them flying from MSP to DFW, ORD, and other hubs. Is that a Scope Failure?

Do we do DFW - MSP. Last I saw it was all 76 seaters.
Maybe we need to dump the code???
Edit: I guess we do now have 2 daily 319s. Last time I tried to non rev, it was ALL 76 seaters!

I had a fnwa 330 guy in our js last week and he said the talk on the street in SEA is 150-200. Lots of guys who came out of ANC supposedly are bailing.
