There. Fixed it for you:
"Thing is, there is always going to be the crisis or issue du jour that management and DALPA will point to and scream about the sky falling while trying to manage your expectations.
Time to start managing theirs.
Don't sell yourselves short guys."

Anyhow, once the T/A is presented to us, I fully expect that it will be completely taken apart, sliced, diced and pounded by a bunch of us from every possible angle before the first day passes. We will have all the information necessary to completely evaluate it's value, either good or bad. There shouldn't be any areas that are nebulous. We will have a really good idea of its value pretty quickly.
We're going to set up subcommittees to dissect all of the different sections of the TA.
At the end of the day it'll be like a scene out of Apollo 13 where every department checks in with a "GO... flight leader? GO... Gordo? GO!" And so on.
The all important APCF seal of approval will be 5 underboobs out of 5. Anything less, well, will be flat.

Don't worry, your not alone. There are about 4500 other folks that wish the merger never happened, but we'll get over it to, eventually.

I'm not saying that I wished it never happened. I think it was the best thing for both carriers knowing that consolidation is becoming a reality. If chenge had never happened in the industry, I would have rather remained stand alone. That being said, I'm well over it, and it's time to kick ass. If you haven't gotten over it.. well.. best of luck.

But having said that. All the wishing in the world isn't going to undo it. I completely agree that we need to go forward with the intention of making this the best airline on the planet.
I only point out the anti-merger stuff because I don't want to see us make the same mistakes in judgment with our next contract that we made in evaluating the JPWA (and ever since BK really). Our focus needs to be clear. And it needs to be on restoring the standard of living our pay provides to us and our families, and on reversing the outsourcing and getting our flying back. When we acted like we just won the lottery because we got what amounts to a COLA to our bankruptcy/emergency rates, we sent the wrong message and IMO helped to undermine our ability to get the restorative gains we need going forward.

Pinnacle Air Has ‘High Probability’ of Bankruptcy, Maxim Says - Businessweek
Just curious, but any idea how this would affect us?
I'm just wondering if a DCI bankruptcy could translate a higher cost to DAL.
