Does that come with a money back guarantee?

Yep.. Mason didn't seem to learn much after the POS TA 2015 went down in flames... He probably is still wondering where all of his good friends went from the other LECs that he got to know too well last summer...

And no concessions.

Or we can keep doing this.

The TA concessions will just be the beginning.

As staffing gets tight with massive retirements, we will be making concession after concession after concession. Its in the DALPA DNA.

We can't change it.
And Timmy's boys will be more of the same. So you have that going for you. At least you are coming out of the closet now and admitting that you have the agenda of destroying dALPA. Now if you will admit that you really don't give a damn about the pilots either in that process we can move on to those that might actually care.

The same guarantee that we got about having a new deal within 48 hours of turning down TA15.

You're talking about the "Richard needs a deal" clause of TA1?

Mason is a member of the weak 7. There was someone defending him on Chit Chat recently as having learned his lesson after the failure of TA15. Oh well, maybe he didn't. The fact that that he has a vote on the MEC is a joke, as the SLI's are by nature company friendly, tote the line pilots, lest they lose their position. Mason is very interested in a 16 percent increase to a copilot rate for a plane he can't hold, but gets paid for to instruct. Sigh...

Exactly....I seem to recall he was our Alpa Codeshare Comittee Chair for some time before his current training department gig. I also heard he worked in Network for some time under Hauenstein and Cortelyou years ago. Things that make you go hmmmm. If something stinks......

The problem seems to be Delta pilots that were hired to fly planes going into the training department, and ALPA, then getting lost. I appreciate our pilots that step up to serve our union, and train our pilots. Problem is, a fair number of them seem to stay in those worlds for a long time. At some point, they forget what flying the line is about..

I agree that we need to have some maximum duty period, followed by some minimum rest period, from ALPA work.
