seriously. I don't need to be insulted by "my" bargaining agent. If you can't, won't, or have too much at stake personally to address the issues at hand, just have the integrity to say so and step back.
Integrity. What was I thinking.

Rampers, mechanics, gate agents, flight attendants, etc. Everyone was union.
Now none of them will be.
Management has got to be ecstatic.

Since ATL is such a big part of the operation, a potentially severe IROP (known locally as AM flurries) has the potential to derail the whole operation.
They have gone to General Quarters on Virginia Ave.
Skeds is putting the whole airline on short call.
If it snows at Hartsfield --

At the VERY least, dues will decrease and monies available to our pilot group will skyrocket.
Do folks on here know about the outgoing ATL chief pilot's ALPA background? Totally unsat. I want my union folks to be persona non-Grata in the Mecca hierarchy.

Now here's a question for you: What on God's green Earth makes you think that ALPA will shoot for getting Delta pilots the industry's leading contract given their history?

As far as question 2, I believe that since the guys negotiating the contract also have to live under that contract it is ludicrous to believe that they would want anything else. No.. it's beyond ludicrous.
I am no pom pom shaker... but I fail to see other than vitriol towards ALPA. What it is that DPA brings?
Mods: Sorry this is here, but I am just answering the question. Feel free to move it over to that other thread.
