I wonder if we could get ooster sized ads in tje airport in places that non-cons walk thru, but the general public might take it weird.

Do all the employee groups get the ALPA emails? Why on earth do we need to educate the pilot group?

You'd be shocked at the amount of mil guys and other ex non-union pilots that come in asking "why the hell do I need to pay union dues for?"

Plus all the ALPA haters need to be reminded that they're upper middle classes citizens today NOT because the company decided to pay us all this money out of the kindness of their heart.

Well over half the seniority list was not here when PS was last touched, much less started. They don't know the history of LOA 46 & 51, TA1, Moak, Pension loss/theft, etc. unless people tell them. And even then, folks that weren't here probably need to hear it a couple times since they didn't live it. Not many Captains are spending cruise or layovers doing that deep education.

I submit ALPA sending out the history of PS is an outstanding use of our dues dollars. Having a written document to go back to is a worthy effort.

Plus, once the history is written it takes very little cost/effort to send it out each year.

How? Delta will not let that happen via company resources. How in the world would DALPA get it to the other employee groups?

Now if they were all uniononized, that would be different. But they are not (yet).

Do we actually think they’ll get there?

Guess they're unable to do both?

Very little chance that anything you say or do will change their mind. They'll chalk it up to programming, propoganda or wasting even more of their dues dollars. Look at them complain about paying dues on profit sharing, like the company just gives that to us. The only exception to that is if you're a close friend, and they'll listen to you if you try to give a course correction.

The only way 90% of those that think that way learn to change is when something bad happens to them. They get pinched by the CPO, they get, God forbid, a medical problem, or the company wrongs them in some way. Then they'll be ALPA's biggest supporter.

I've run into these people my whole career. Seen them come and go.
