They told you not to wear them because there was a nationwide shortage and people with "common sense" like you were hoarding them while doctors couldn't get enough.

However ...

After the EAL strike in 89 DAL only hired EAL SCABs and by most they were welcomed as ‘brothers’. One PAA SCAB ended up at DAL and dang if he didn’t end up in the union at DAL ... even ended up pictured in the ALPA magazine.

Some things amaze me.

You would be correct.

It was a request but who does that? Just one strange action in a host of others that led the company to wonder if she was “all there”. Her safety report alone was not the reason for all this and in a vacuum would never have resulted in what ended up happening.

Very ironic given your username and all. I wouldn’t throw rocks in glass houses. Makes you look like a tool.

In other news, Delta is appealing the Administrative Law Judge's ruling.

IDK what his motives were but to me I think he was pointing out why people might be obsessive about something. I don’t think he was bashing those pilots, but rather show why someone might be overly cautious.

She was found to have a disqualifying condition by one Doctor. Went through the process prescribed by our Pilot Working Agreement and got her job back as a result of that process. In summation, our ALPA negotiated PWA saved her job.

Even if emotionally involved, there is no need for drama. Integrity First my friend.

The DPA seeks to undermine and decertify the Air Line Pilots Association on the Delta property. The DPA never got enough cards to get a vote and never represented a Delta pilot.

Here is a quote from Ruling in regards to the company appointed "doctor" who found her to have a disqualifying condition.

"Dr. Altman commented that Complainant and her husband at one point had three children under three while Complainant attended night school earning a 3.7 GPA, and she worked at her husband's business. Dr. Altman then said 'I don't know any woman who could do that. I don't know any woman with three under three that isn't exhausted, let alone going to school."

This was used as part of his basis to medically disqualify her and ruin her career. Fortunately the tribunal saw through this idiotic and sexist bull****, saying:

"The Tribunal was struck by DU. Altman's comment about how Complainant's ability to have a career and raise small children was suggestive of mania. Dr. Altman appeared to confuse an industrious mother (not an uncommon trait in modern society) with a manic one. Also Complainant's children are grown adults. It is unclear how complainant's ability to raise in the distant past "three under three" related to her present mental wellbeing or fitness to fly."

This is incredibly embarrassing for Delta. She may or may not have violated the social media policy, I don't know or care. Delta's reaction in hiring a quack doctor to perform a punitive section 15 is beyond the pale. She deserves every penny of the 500K

Should ALPA use our dues money to defend every pilot?
