So the latest "Letter form the Chairman" just plopped in my email in box. Apparently "social media" is good when the MEC can use it, but not when anyone has a dissenting viewpoint. Shutting down the FB page when the TA was being discussed not make perfect sense.

It also included this little nugget:

And the Delta pilots need the opportunity to consider this agreement without being inundated with simple, yet continuous falsehoods or attack.

So I guess the roadshows will be canceled too? :p

Also I take "jumpseat wisdom" with a grain of salt, ever since back around 2000 we had a jumpseater upset about RJs trying to convince us that every flight from ATL less than 500 miles would be flown by RJs within five years.

That would include from ATL to TPA, MCO, BNA, JAX.

Didn't quite happen that way did it? (and yes we have had and do have too many RJs in the system)

They must be experimenting with the FO B awards since they're not out yet. Pulling trips to see how the LCA pulls will work when the idiots vote this in.

Many live on these boards. The conversation usually go down one path with no dissent. Some may argue MEC comm is the same. Those are both fair assessments.

Just as a thought experiment, how valid would this board hold anyone's opinion who was a firm yes?

Would they be heard?
Would they be shunned,derided and told how stupid they were?
Would they be accused of being a DALPA plant?

Food for thought only.

The group on here claims they are being sold on a TA. I would submit that there is very little room for debate with all the screaming no.

Again, if anyone has any questions or concerns the reference TA and other materials are available on the dal.alpa.org contract pages.

Thanks.

As a firm yes voter your post is 100% spot on. I don't mind a debate as long as it stays factual. This forum as so many false statements it's becoming like a cult.

And folks wonder why they never encounter a yes voter and Contracts pass 60/40
