Did management believe it to be "detrimental to the process" to intentionally abrogate our contract, DISCIPLINE (and yes, taking away pay from pilots IS a form of discipline) pilots by forcing a PD on them, and then making them do a carpet dance in the CPO? Hell no. They even told us they were going to violate our contract ahead of time. What have we done about other than "collect data"? NOTHING! And now we have apologists like you advocate that doing NOTHING is advancing the process. It's not! Wake up man!
If this isn't a shot across the bow I don't know what is. This is exactly what's wrong with DALPA. They, and their loyal followers---like YOU, continue to hamper our collective ability to make contractual gains. What exactly would be "detrimental" by FILING a grievance? Are they going to take our retirement away? Pay us less than they did 14 years ago? Take away crew meals--but continue to feed the F/A? A 7th short call?
As a side note, can you tell me the last time DALPA even filed a grievance? Do they even remember how?

I heard this morning that Obama warned Putin again, I think this was the 47th time. This time he means it.

Well, since you asked, you are well adept at repeating the DALPA drivel. As to your understanding of how negotiations work, you are CLUELESS.
