Based on the C20 update, there weren't any other pilots running than the ones already serving. All those perfectly good conspiracy theories - WASTED. Sometimes I wonder if we aren't our own worst enemies spinning ourselves up over nothing.

Although I do wonder what the DALPA forum rabble rousers are doing now that their pet conspiracy theory has been shot down.

Or, with DPA cards increasing & ALPA walking on thin ice, DALPA decided to listen to their members.

We're not very good. That's why we should temper our expectations and go with the flow on scope and be constructive engagers who are quiet team players who know their place is at the bottom of the totem poll.

We're simply a liability asset required by law.

You know who is really good at being airline pilots? FedEx and Southwest pilots. That's why they get so much money. But we're not in their league, that's why we're not comparable.

Excellent post.
Management sends out their little newsletters and updates and trim tabs telling us how wonderful we are and telling us we're doing a great job but its all just bull....
We are still working under the bankruptcy contract while they use their huge cash pile to go out and buy Mexican airline stock.
I wonder if the AeroMexico pilots have a pension?

...or the Delta MEC followed the policy manual they wrote two years ago. All the rest was just made up.

Alfa, either way, we got our NC, and they are great guys that are doing a great job. I look forward to their tireless work on the behalf of all Delta pilots going forward.

A hearty congrats to all four men.

Depends on how long your application process, hiring, and training takes at Alaska! (Oh, you were asking, assuming you stay at Delta?)
