You know full well I am not talking about you. I am talking about pilots like Hockey and DAL88 that refuse to do that work.

Maybe, just maybe DALPA supported the slot swap because it gives DAL a death hold on LGA, which provides pricing power in the NYC market. It provides more revenue opportunity which in turn creates revenue making Delta a healthy, profitable company. That revenue provides job protection. The RJ's will shift & mainline will shift. The never ending shuffle continues.
The RJ's have to be flown somewhere. DAL signed contracts, & they have to comply with them.

Difference is that we are the pilots with sole bargaining authority with DAL. If that was not the case, you would have a point, but we do and they do not. We would have to allow it. The analogy is apples and oranges.
DCI carriers bargain with their companies, we bargain with DAL. Huge difference than a divorce where you both bargain with a judge.

We sold it and did what we were told before the economy collapsed, and now we see RJ's. Disheartening at best, but it can be explained. The company knows that we are not happy, and if they want to have a content group, they will have to right this. Actions like this do not help the engagement principle. They know it and we know it.

No he said there is a conflict at National because the represent both of us and he used a divorce attorney analogy. I showed him how that logic is flawed because we have sole bargaining rights with DAL. Its a huge point that people want to gloss over.

Here you go again acl. You just can't admit when you get busted with yet another fleeing from your own words. This is what you said earlier:
That doesn't sound like a perception of reality to me dude.
