Chairman and others bidding 777 = less leverage and a lower payrate on it.
Pilots flying DPs voluntarily = less leverage and worse schedules in the very near future.
The DP process has the power to keep pairings off of lines, at least for a few months, without your specific request to fly them. It has the power to affect change. I'm not talking about what we try to get on the next contract or what should be, I am interested in supporting the system we have now. So what if PC can eventually rule to kill the dispute. Let him get interviewed by the NTSB for his poor decisions. Don't make those decisions for him.
So you have to ask yourself, am I helping the team or hurting the team? I don't care about your excuses why. If you are debating AND subverting the system in place I say you are hurting the team and wish you weren't on it.
