We're the pilots of an airline that flies passengers but evidently in our core competency we pilots suck at what we do and they want someone else to do it whether it's having a near same size fleet of regionals on the low end, Alaska in middle or AF/KLM heavies on the top.
We're not very good. That's why we should temper our expectations and go with the flow on scope and be constructive engagers who are quiet team players who know their place is at the bottom of the totem poll.
We're simply a liability asset required by law.
You know who is really good at being airline pilots? FedEx and Southwest pilots. That's why they get so much money. But we're not in their league, that's why we're not comparable.

We suck. That's why they outsource.

All good points FTB;
We do suck. We suck so bad and we know it, thats why the union puts out the AK codeshare agreement paper, patting us on the head. "You're a good boy Delta pilot, you can't run fast, you're spastic, and you wear coke bottle glasses, but you are cute -- C'mere let me pat you on the head.
Kudos to the DAL pilots for accepting reality. Kudos will pay the bills. Remain calm all is well.

Looks like the current negotiating committee stayed intact. I want to thank my reps for listening to those they represent.

Although I do wonder what the DALPA forum rabble rousers are doing now that their pet conspiracy theory has been shot down.

Based on the C20 update, there weren't any other pilots running than the ones already serving. All those perfectly good conspiracy theories - WASTED. Sometimes I wonder if we aren't our own worst enemies spinning ourselves up over nothing.

Management sends out their little newsletters and updates and trim tabs telling us how wonderful we are and telling us we're doing a great job but its all just bull....
We are still working under the bankruptcy contract while they use their huge cash pile to go out and buy Mexican airline stock.
I wonder if the AeroMexico pilots have a pension?
