Wow, I come on here once a month to see if I have any PMs and read the last couple of pages.
Just a question, which I don't expect an answer to..............does anyone have anything positive to say about anything?
If you want to be happy, don't hang around with unhappy people.
See you boys next month.

I had a recent trip that really cracked me up. A recent new hire FO proceeded to lecture the other very senior FO on everything he and DALPA had done wrong. Then he jumped in on the terrible burden the pay cuts DALPA had just given away caused him. I was about to chime in on that when when the senior FO let loose. I think his statement was something like "Paycuts! What ****ing paycuts. All you have gotten is one raise after another plus a lump sum payment to front load your retirement! You have not taken a dime in paycuts. At that point I had to break things up because it was getting far to heated. I always find it amusing however when people who were not even there try and reinvent history and explain it to people who actually lived it. Reminds me of a quote a very funny NY Captain made in the lounge last year.
"I am not junior enough to know everything!"

This should get a vote as the post of the decade. Its beyond true. You really wonder why so many bitterly unhappy people stick around.

The extra hour actually helped my 15 month old get up for the 0750 nonrev my wife and son were on to MCO. Wife laughed at safety video and said Fly button was still on the video. I like the fly button, its funny. I still giggle at the ESPN commercial.

If DALPA can't do anything about AS adding routes(which they absolutely CAN'T just like DL management) then just exactly HOW are they ceding ground to a competitor? What do you expect them to do? Formally protest? And what do they protest? The marketing actions of a completely different airline? And how do we know that there is demand for more flights, simply because AS added routes? I really don't know what you expect DALPA to do. They successfully tightened the restrictions in the Alaska marketing agreement.
"We view this as an unacceptable development. We don't like it, and we don't expect you to like it. We have the responsibility to Delta pilots (our constituents), to make sure loopholes like this are fixed. We will engage the company immediately and attempt to negotiate an LOA. If unsucessful, we will ensure the problem is fixed in the next contract."
It's called "exhibiting leadership" and "taking a stand" for those they purportedly represent.
