Interesting that you're still here working as hard as you can to make the case for giving away profit sharing.







You're not only enthused about it, you're working as hard as you can to make the case for it. It's almost all you've talked about since you joined a few weeks ago.







Interesting how we've gone from Donutelli's "World's Greatest Contract" to this operative describing a "suitable" contract. What a surprise.

Carl. Your direct honest, non condescending tone is always great to read.

I would just offer that since we are in constant negotiations with the company outside of section 6 these days (117 as an example) releasing the survey is a leg up for the company and hurts the dalpa negotiators and therefore us.

You can disagree. But I think that may be the assumption being operated under by not releasing results.

We'd be good because we'd have your loaded opinions and desperate attempts to show blind loyalty to this MEC administration so you can get back to the feeding trough.

Your problem is the distorted perception you place on others perceptions.

I guess that explains the unanimous vote he received to be a committee chairman.

I just cannot understand why the organization we finance to secure our bread and butter is so damn bent on solving the company's problems before solving our problems.

I just don't get it.
Sure you do Purp. We may finance DALPA, but we don't own it. Delta owns it. RA learned that the best way to deal with organized labor is to purchase the organization. That's how you get to proclaim that labor risk has been taken completely off the table at Delta and have not one MEC administrator publicly rebut it. They couldn't rebut. The owners told them not to.

How do you propose to determine which one of the two is lying considering that this is an anonymous forum? Second question is how would Carl know who a poster is on an anonymous forum? Third question, Carl claims that Shiznet was a rep during C2012, can he provide any evidence to back up that claim?

I'm not in Council 1, but that's what I've heard too. Great guy and devoted to pushing for the survey results.

There is a big difference- nothing has been officially agreed to bring to a debate before vote yet.

That was the situation with the 117 LOA. An agreement had been reached, and official details were released to the line pilots prior to TA ratification.

That is NOT what is happening here. You've got PD and Jerry acting a fool and just throwing crap up against the wall.

In another week or 2, maybe there will be something more concrete. Right now nothing is in concrete and is particularly in flux as the final compensation package figures haven't even been exchanged.

I do agree that it is critical that appropriate details be released to the pilot group (just like in the 117 LOA) prior to the debate and vote to accept the TA to send it to memory rat. Once it goes to memory rat, it historically is not turned down.

I hope you are right. Unfortunately I have heard different, if has and continues to hold the line I will fully support him. What I was told by someone close to the situation is he was more interested in what the ATL reps had to say. I have also seen a few email responses and was less than impressed.

I have recently heard he has realigned himself recently after some recall talk.

I will be at the meeting on the first and ask him what he supports

I do disagree because it actually empowers the negotiators. Most importantly, it keeps everyone honest and hurts their ability to cut side deals in the shadows. Regardless, there's absolutely no excuse for not releasing survey results after the contract is ratified by pilots. Yet the union's position is to never release them. That's simply stubborn arrogance.

Many of us here remember when he got fired from his MEC administration position for his actions during C2012, he was here bragging that it was fine because he was making much more money flying the line and working his side business. When we found out what his side business was, he stopped posting here. When the consultation gig ended with United pilots, he won election back to the MEC administration.



He is supposed to be on our side. The truth is that he's on his side.

One thing you have to note is his dogged determination to acquire power. No matter how many times he's fired or blocked, he finds another way to get back in.

Ok. Tracking now.....thanks. I remember all that....just bad a remembering politician's names. I should remember since it seems like musical chairs with the same actors moving from seat to seat.
