Time for point fingers is over. We all need to say no, no matter what. It is the only way we will have a leg to stand on.

One more time, Delta ALPA caused this whole thing. They changed their scope langauge and let the Midwest pilots hang out to dry.
Delta ALPA made this bed ... sleep in it. I'm applying to Republic.

And the Midwest pilots sat idly by and watched it happen. If you saw it coming you should have shut it down. Stop blaming it on everyone else.

Boomer, your posts are killing me for they're point on. Some in such a much-needed sarcastic way....and then I look over at your avatar, and I can't help but smile. All this, coming out of that little kitty...

Our pilots informed our MEC about DALPA relaxing scope on the deal, not LM telling them.
