There will always be people that feel like they got the shorted in an SLI outcome, and look for ways to improve their position. The DPA leadership is mostly former N. They seem to be the most dissatisfied with the SLI.
It's a good sign.

Pointing out facts about our union is not hate, nor is it trying to divide the pilot group. Facts stand on their own merits. They may be painful to hear, but they don't go away.

What is the rationale for our union guys getting paid by the company for union business?
Thanks.

Union guys have a significantly higher workload and literally another job on top of their flying job. FPL is absolutely necessary for the union to function normally, and as such for the pilot group to be able to function normally. So FPL is paid for...
