Thanks. I honestly couldn't remember but I thought that was right. I think what you're seeing is a lack of trust in DALPA. But I'm glad to confirm that a pay change has to go before memrat.

Wouldn't surprise me to see ALPA endorse a proposal like that. But I sure hope the majority of this pilot group wouldn't even consider it!
On another note, this just in on the DALPA Forum: (not posted by any DALPA official)
"Just got off the phone with the President of SWAPA.
I asked him to clarify their pay. He emphatically said the average SWA Captain makes between 220K and 260K. Some work less and make less, a few push 300K. The last year he flew the line he made over 270K working about 4 days a week.
He asked an FO near him what he made on his W2 last year, it was around 180K. He estimated he worked about 16 days a month.
Their 737s hold around 137 passengers.
He said no DALPA leader has called him personally to discuss their contract this go round. He did say the _ guys have spoken to him."
I assume "the _guys" is referring to DPA since that acronym is forbidden on the DALPA Forum.

And if that were the case the facts would bear it out as soon as the NDA info became public. The fact that NDA agreements continue must be either a testament to the veracity of the info given, and ALPA continuously vets it's worth, or we have had a long track record of incredibly naive, gullable people at the MEC, both fNWA and DAL
