Did you ever have senior people mistreat you for their own betterment? ...and if you did, did you enjoy it and decided to continue that tradition?
Better get your vision checked, sir. You have a problem seeing clearly.
There are a lot of Braniff, Eastern, PanAm, TWA, etc. aviators in your book who were "too senior." Where are they today? Just 4 years ago Delta and NWA were in the courts trying to reject our contracts. Three years ago Dougie Parker tried a hostile takeover bid that would have eliminated the MD-88 fleet and furloughed all those pilots.
How about you come put yourself in other pilot's shoes, because you seem eager to step on senior pilots for your own career betterment.
While you're in those shoes you might have to actually do some work, like those senior guys did, to protect the jobs of ALL Delta pilots. Oh, and there's never been a group of senior guys more generous with cash distributions to the bottom of the list than the Delta South guys. What did we get for it....tripe like what you've typed above.

You don't correctly see it. What I stated was that CONTRACTUALLY it didn't matter who the bargaining agent is for the CPZ flow to still operate. That's far different than not caring. I haven't opined on that point; many others here are calling for MALPA or an independent union for Delta pilots, with complete separation from regionals. Why didn't you take them to task?

For someone not trying, you sure were successful. I am trying to understand your "Gen X all about me" attitude that hurts our unity in this profession.
Hey, even though you haven't demonstrated that attitude anywhere that I can see, I figure that last comment to be an effective demonstration of why your writing style is antagonistic...
