Maybe you need to start thinking about what your "union" needs to be doing to restore this profession and our careers, instead of making every excuse in the book for why that's supposedly not possible.

I give that lots of thought, and I provide my reps with those thoughts on a regular basis, just as you do.

Every excuse in the book? Really? And just when I thought that you and I were getting back to having at least reasonable discussions.

If it's the same thoughts you provide here, then I'll bet your reps really enjoy your input. It's comfortable in the echo chamber.

Really.

Yeah, I know. The only way to have a "reasonable discussion" with DALPA is if you agree with them...

So, in using the 15% contribution allocated to one's retirement, on the surface, you seem to be advocating that those funds are liquid usable dollars today, which they are/were never intended to be. That 15% contribution is/was intended to replace one's 65% FAE retirement pension, and is woefully inadequate even for that. WRT the G/S 3-day JoBerg trip, how does that work in the 717 or the -88 driver's situation? We continue to work under a concessionary contract. If we don't fix our contract under these current economic conditions, what is the point of paying our dues to DALPA?

Prove that assertion. You keep saying it, yet have yet to provide any evidence whatsoever that it has actually been floated. Yet another Fielding turd in the punchbowl.

Bigger pays more. You benefit, 88driver does not. It's what the majority wants.

Square

Are you still standing by the fact the management does not want pay banding and longer freezes as well?

You can bury your head in the sand until DALPA tells you to sell it like its hot, but it won't change the cost neutral outcome.
