Especially after the press picked up on the honey sweet relationship Delta has with its pilots and an agreement being reached so many months in advance. Sure sounded good didn't it? Management looked like geniuses right up until the truth was uncovered.

Better get on the red phone linked to A4A and the Regional Airline Association to put the brakes on operation "symbiotic strategies" and stop the forgone conclusion that more EMB's should be purchased for Gojets.

Why didn't the chairman's letter mention giving up a huge chunk of our profit sharing checks?

For Reference:

Negotiator's Notepad 08-03
...It is important to recognize the industry and economic landscape against which this JCBA tentative agreement was reached.
We believe that given the financial and industry environment in which we find ourselves, this agreement provides significant gains for the Delta pilots.

Additionally, it positions Delta to make significant competitive strides in the coming years, especially in international markets, which would be reflected in profit sharing payouts
and, most important, in the prospect for a long‐term financially stable corporation which is in the best interests of all Delta pilots.
We unanimously endorse this agreement, your elected representatives have endorsed this agreement, and we recommend you vote in favor of ratification.

Maybe because we've got 5,000 former NWA guys? Just sayin...

I really hope that it does get shot down. Sounds like the SCOPE alone is a reason to NO vote this thing. The entire industry is watching us right now. I think the ramifications of this TA will change ALPA National significantly.

I'm carefully crafting my letter to my LAX reps but, needless to say, I'm embarrassed.

There's multiple inconsistencies that cant be reconciled with the proposal just in that one small NNP.

I don't give a rat's a$$ what the rest of the industry thinks.. DAL has set the bar for the last 20 years.... maybe it's somebody else's turn.

Fire away.
