Again I've got to ask- DALPA does not want us to make less than SWA/AirTran pilots for equal work, right?

As to the cost argument. My power bill is what it is no matter what my revenue is. If we're going down this road then I want Delta pilots pay to be based off a % of last years revenue. Not profit. Revenue.

The lower Dalpa can aim, the more likely they will attain it, and maybe stay in office longer? "See, I got you what WE WERE ASKING FOR....."

Hearing this kind of stuff makes me want to pull my hair out.....

Mc Donalds deserved that lawsuit several times over. It wasn't just the temperature of the coffee that was the problem, it was the sturdiness of the cups, too. Just to make a few pennies more per pot.

Notice how their coffee cups are now? ;)

That comparison was BS and should have not been published. It shows us making more than AA US UAL and CAL, all of which are EXPIRED CONCESSIONARY contacts. Typical ALPA crap, & it is get old quick.

APA is currently doing roadshows that are telling their pilots about current status of negotiations. They are telling their pilots to plan on a TA by fall with rates similar to FedEx.
Guess we will see....

If this pans out for APA... DPA will probably get alot more cards this fall!

No kidding. I am on a full on education campaign on the equal pay for equal work (and scope) between us and the clown car brigade.

When does DAL take delivery of all of the 90s we are getting from china? I saw one there in chinese paint the other day.

It's been difficult to listen to alfaromeo, slowplay, pineapple etc slam the Seham law firm. I'm hoping we can take most of this to the DPA thread now that it is back in the Majors. But I really need to respond to just a portion of the non-stop garbage from our usual suspects.

Lee and Marty Seham run the firm that DPA is using for the card drive. They are an extremely sharp group of attorneys, and we are lucky to have them on our side as opposed to management having them. While it is currently fashionable to slam the Seham firm because they have been such a thorn in ALPA's side, I just thought some might enjoy this note to Marty Seham. It was from three pilots from Continental's old union. One of the signatures is that of John Prater...former president of ALPA.

Here's another one from someone who used the Seham firm for a high profile incident.
