ALPA right or wrong is of no fact to you, that is obvious. Did you kill cats as a kid?
Irony much, FIIG?

It's true, I do use ALPA as a punching bag. And they've earned it. But ALPA isn't the disease, it's a symptom.

It's a symptom of a complacent, risk-averse, and disinterested pilot group that's unwilling or unable to realize how much influence our money will have if we keep it within our pilot group (and cut off the fat cats and moochers at ALPA).

There you go again PD. When people don't see things your way they get called names like; risk averse, complacent, disinterested which by the way are the nicest things you've said about the majority yet. You once called me arrogant, don't you see how arrogant the statement you just posted is ? Basically you're saying that all the yes voters on the last TA voted for it because they were; afraid, uninformed, duped, etc., etc.
At my advanced age my memory is fading but I do believe Fed Ex voted ALPA out and then found out how much a independent union really costs. I do believe they voted ALPA back in. If I'm wrong with my history I stand by my bad memory.

Just an aside, 73N guys, the new WDR Data Link upload thing rocks.

Carry on.

Purple's ideology is doom, despair, and agony. He's miserable. And if he's miserable, you should better be miserable too. But no matter how comfortable he is in his black cloud (or "spectrum"), I do not have to join him in his rage. That doesn't make me or anyone else complacent, lazy, disinterested, . It may just mean we have a life outside DAL. We may even just be balanced and reasonably content human beings with a different perspective.

BTW, his contribution is always negative. I have much more respect for the worst ALPA or DPA volunteer there is. They at least are doing something. Throwing poo from the computer isn't hard work (even if it is fun).

Fingers crossed that the new awards are better.

I wouldn't exactly call 93-94% of pilots voting in the last TA "disinterested".

What will change with DPA, IAM, IBEW or even the UAW if the Delta pilot group is still composed of "complacent, risk-averse and disinterested pilots"? That's why your logic fails.

Do you really think that Delta Air Lines Inc gives a flying leap who represents us? Nope. We work in an industry governed by the RLA. No union can give us more "influence".

I should hopefully be holding a line due to my vacation in August. They are trying to fix that glitch.
