So we're all about unity except when you decree we're not? Are pilots restricted to only considering the history of our group's history from their date or hire? IMO we should show unity and not try to divide the pilot group by squelching speech from those we deem not worthy of taking into consideration what's happened to the group as a whole.

Folks, what I am advocating here is:
- Support ALPA, your Reps and Volunteers who work for you
- Support ALPA PAC
- Think carefully about your survey responses
- Consider that scope nets you more actual pay through advancement than having $1 above whatever arbitrary metric, or contract comparison from a decade and a half ago you might have in mind.
- Just think; remember that Delta is a holding company of alter ego stacked on alter ego and the easy play is simply to move flying around to the flavor of the day while allocating costs to the "bad boys."
- Hold ALPA accountable for results. Learn about the Candidates. Know how your Reps vote. We, as members of the association fail the association when we let things like Endeavor's negotiations go unchallenged. We need to keep a very close watch on this transatlantic JV.

Unfortunately, That is most certainly NOT what you said. That may be what you changed it to with the aid of your moderator position after being called (even Alan Shore jumped on).
At least the other DALPA cheerleaders have some credibility. Questionable .tives, to be sure, but at least come credibility You, on the other hand...not so much.
Logic is clearly not your strong suit. Maybe night school classes will help?

That's actually part of your TOE. You're supposed to just take the later van, grab something to eat, walk into the breifing room, say "I call second break" throw the relief pilot a blank chart to fill out and head to the plane.
Actually accomodations can take forever to reach. They usually have one or two people staffing them, so one pilot gets through in 2 seconds while someone that calls right after can wait a while. You could also try the transportation company direct. Some are very flexible and even if they're not, there's often an earlier van already scheduled for another crew you can usually ride on. Improvise, adapt, overcome.

When's your TOE? Consider:
--Calling the transport company direct. Any static from them, suggest their driver may not be happy later.
--Call the LCA and let him know you may be late, and why.
--Call the Pilot Support Center, and ask for support...let them stay on hold with crew accommodations.
--Call scheds and tell them you can't fly---> your ear's still sore.
Good Luck and have FUN!

In my opinion, this isn't just a DALPA bashfest or some abstract academic exercise. It's about the meaning words. Last time, DALPA "heard us loud and clear", and now they say we're poised for "historic gains." What does that mean? Can it be that we'll see a replica of C2012 with a campaign to state that it will cost the company X Billions of dollars...but nobody will show us how those billion figures are derived?
DALPA would do us all a great favor by showing the costed line items and prove where the numbers came from.
