(I'm not saying you did throw poo, just encouraging everyone to not crap in their hand).
Let me start by saying that I get your point. This isn't FlightInfo, and my post could help this conversation degenerate. It is not my intent to participate in that medium. However, read through some of the following and tell me if it doesn't strike you as strange that a pilot with close management ties chooses to take the union to task over the contract that they were able to achieve through negotiations with that same management team.

Above, Bar, you state that "ACL65 contributes more good information than most of us..." Where does that info come from?

A management acknowledgment.

It was such a travesty that he chose DAL as his airline while it was still in bankruptcy. He came after the approval of LOA 51 as the pilot contract with the scope provisions he now rails against. As a reminder, he came from ASA and now complains about RJ scope.

After acknowledging management, after stating that Flight Ops management isn't really management, after calling DAL's situation a travesty, he has the temerity to blame ALPA and the Delta MEC for his lot in life.
Give me a break!
Again, I don't want this to be FlightInfo. But this type of posting can't stand unchallenged.
