Up until 2014 Ford & Harrison was the lead firm that dealt with all things labor at Delta. Ranging from relations with ALPA to keeping other unions off the property. Sources tell me Ford & Harrison has been replaced by another top law firm. Anyone else hear of this and know who it is that's running the show for Delta now?

They pay for themselves via FPL, or should I say we pay for their FPL.

Most of them are doing pro-bono work for management now. Charitable folks...they are, the Maokists.

He is a lawyer.....what do you expect? Most of these 4th floor types prefer to fly desks. Being a pilot got them the job.....they could care less to ever touch an airplane again if they didnt have to. That is how and why they work against us. They will do whatever it takes to avoid coming "back to the line".The same can be said for Moaks hand picked minions that worked along side these guys to sell us constructive engagement.
Actually, out of the 4 airlines I worked for I find Delta to be the most decent at this. Plenty of guys do their tours and go back.
CPO guys are on rotation, plenty of APD's recently left and all SLI's now are on a 5 year tours, CLCP on the ER is going, CCPSA is going as well.
Most of these are "for life" positions in the rest of the industry.

With that being said there are guys who'd rather fly the desk. Individuals, not the rule.

My perspective is a little different, some rotate back but a large majority are just recycled into another "management" cycle. 6 airlines latter.

My experience too...they may "slum" it and come back to the line for a brief stint, but they re-tread back to another position or find some "special" project or assignment that requires their expertise.
