There is no way to "monetize labor peace" when there is no credible threat of labor discord. We've seen no leadership or any kind of spark from Donatelli indicating he's got the stomach to fight. Moak is on record saying he's ok with "marginal" pay increases... he mentioned $2.00 or $2.05! :eek: RA has already stated that labor risk is off the table. Translation: we know ALPA won't fight. Donatelli has already rolled over. |

Pretty sad and pathetic. I have absolutely, I repeat absolutely nothing to do with ALPA but that doesn't make any difference to you. In your small angry mind anyone who doesn't parrot your message (or TC's) must be getting paid. |

Is that the only thing you can say? Don't like the message Purple? Have to assign imaginary positions for people you don't have the ability to debate? Oberon spanked all of you, is a new hire so obviously has no position with ALPA, and that is the best you can do?
Pretty sad and pathetic. |

FWIW, I generally don't agree with the points he tries to make. |

Here are some facts a mediator is likely to consider. Delta is making billions, seriously billions! Comparable pilot groups have comparable contracts. It'd be better if comparable pilot groups had better contracts but at least there is no US Airways out there making 40% less than us. Hell, the worst out there right now is probably Jet Blue and they just voted in ALPA because they aren't happy about it. Our company values labor peace to the point they talk about it to investors. We hold the keys to labor peace and if the company wants it they are going to have to pay for it.

What exactly is your message? Do you have anything of substance to add?
Give me one thing you have ever contributed to the pilot group, or even this board? I will give you a helpful hint, calling people DALPA operatives isn't it. And that's the thing with you, you are a spiteful, small minded poster, trying to paint a negative picture of everyone you disagree with. There are a lot of really smart people that contribute to our group and on this board. I'm not that bright but I know one thing for damn sure, I'm smarter than you. And when you come on here and try to diminish their idea's by name calling and belittling their thoughts it should be called out for the BS it is. |
