Give up the fruitless DPA fight and lets all band together.GJ
P.S. I'm not afraid of Carl at this time, because he isn't able to vote on a TA that will screw junior guys. Just wait, when that time comes, he'll take his over supporting the majority of the group...............AGAIN!

This is not right. You get whatever you duty off + 9 hours. If you block in at 00:43, you duty off at 01:13. 9 hours later is 10:13am. On your next res day, 10:13am is your new midnight. Your res day starts at 10:13 am. You are required to check your schedule after 1:13 am. If nothing is on there at this time (not very likely), you go on long call at 10:13 am.
This does not happen automatically. You have to call a scheduler and tell them. It will be marked on your schedule as a partial x-day.

late operations, you immediately start your X day. Reference 23.S.14
Also, your required schedule check is from block in prior to release. So you have 30 minutes to check it.

Not to pick on you because this sentiment has been uttered by a few here, I struggle to see how the DPAs effort will affect DALPAs contract negotiations. There is no doubt that our next contract will be negotiated by DALPA, with that in mind, how does the threat of decertification change the out come on what they can negotiate with management?
It is my opinion, we all have them, that the DPA push shows the company a "non-unified" pilot group. When a company, such as Delta Air Lines, is approached by the "current bargaining" agent, knowing they have a non-unified group behind them, they can more easily provide a contract/TA that will appeal to 50% + 1 of the pilot group.
Look, we have a 12,000 pilot list at Delta now. In that list there are multiple demographics. (i.e. old, young, some that want money, others that want scope, FTB never wants to leave the MD88/90, etc., etc.)
Adding the external variable of an "in-house" union drive when we're about ready to enter Section 6 negotiations, only adds to the lack of leverage and effectiveness we have as a group of professionals.
Thanks for the question........incoming from Carl's "smoke and mirror's soon".

[COLOR=Black]Good question Capn.

Also, the whole "ununified" thing has me miffed as well. I see us as unified in that we all want a great contract, we just disagree about how to get there. Either way, it does not matter since DALPA will still be the one doing the negotiations. I guess I'm at a loss on the "ununified" thing.
