No it's not, the United States Government is.

 

So is the following statement true or false?

"You are aware that your "LEC REPS" do not receive any sort of override whatsoever correct? They do not get trip drops for any LEC business. Representing pilots in the CP office? Off days. LEC meetings? Off days. In the larger bases you have Reps that are going to the airport 16 days a month to fly and then 8 or 9 days a month doing representations etc. This work does not get done by magic."

Reps do get trip drops, but not for any of the above which probably takes up most of their time.

Simply stating that Reps are entitled to trip drops ignores the overwhelming percent of their time they spend representing you on their off time when they are not entitled to trip drops as your LEC rep.

During peacetime Delta is the world's largest consumer of jet fuel, edging out the Department of Defense. So even a small move in oil prices has an impact on the bottom line of a company that flies at least 700 of its own large and regional airplanes and counts more than 1,400 aircraft under its companywide umbrella.

Pedantic...good SAT word! Obstruse, erudite, doctrinaire, ostentatious. +1 to Justdoinmyjob for vocab use!

 

It's good that you've unmasked yourself as a far left guy. Gives great context to your opinions.

As has been stated many times, it's perfectly appropriate that line pilots for Delta are paid by Delta. We are working on behalf of Delta. When unelected MEC bureaucrats such as yourself and slowplay work "on behalf of Delta pilots", you're also paid by Delta. That's the problem. You should be paid by the people you're supposed to be representing. It might help you move away from constant apologies for whatever management does.

And you have the gall to screech about others putting forth a smear campaign? Do you even read what you write? Or are you too busy with hating Karl Rove and Rupert Murdoch?

As has been stated many times, the fix to this is take all money from flight pay loss paid by the company and give it back to the pilot group as increased salary. Then our dues would increase the exact same amount so that our union guys would still get their flight pay loss, but they would get it from dues money...not management. Next straw man argument...

Hilarious! This is the guy that just got through screaming about a smear campaign. Good times!!

Your martyrdom complex is making you look foolish. Debit card/credit card is a meaningless distinction. One has no worse connotation than the other. The problem is poorly accounted for expenses by union officials.

Carl

 

Uh.. I disagree with this in a sense. If DALPA were paying representatives, you and others would be squawking about the amount of work that you are getting for your money. I think that is a slippery slope too Carl.

 

You mean the kind of hearsay you keep spewing that DPA is really all about overturning the SLI?

What's pure bunk is your blatantly false premise. Let's do the math again shall we? 70 hours per month at the C2K rate of $268 per hour = 18,760. 92 hours per month at the current rate of $182 per hour = 16,744. Plus the 1,000 stipend (which is tax free) = 17,744. This is a 1,016 dollar difference. Add in the credit cards/debit cards for expenses and you get very close to C2K pay...which is EXACTLY what TheManager said. I know you will call this more sleazy Karl Rove propaganda, but the truth is what it is.

Have fun with the rest of your ALPA funded/flight pay loss funded smear campaign dude. You'll make the far left very proud.
