Low survey participation, low meeting attendance, yep, DALPA is firing on all cylinders!

Pro or anti DALPA, to not acknowledge that DALPA needs to change significantly to reverse the above trends is naïve. Only so much the members can do to help the cause.

Here's a guy actively trying to take money and time off away from us.

Why would he want to do that?

Insomuch as any of my landings that allow me to make a midfield turnoff qualify as "first-third" of the runway - even if they are 200' outside the actual touchdown distance.

When the next contract passes with 63%, I'll generalize it as 2-to-1, and leave the quibblefest for the brain trust here.

Why would you want to mischaracterize my statements?

I want more money and better rules sooner rather than later. The "sooner" part chafes with you. I get that. Your opinion on the acceptable value of our next contract is not shared by most Delta pilots. That part chafes with you. I get that too.

Call your reps and ask them about the survey results. I thought about posting what I was told on here but better people ask for themselves.

DALPA has a relationship with this pilot group and the meeting attendance and the survey participation rate is a direct reflection of that relationship. It takes two to tango. It doesn't take one side saying "it's all your fault".

I go to meetings when I can, I participate in surveys and I also communicate my concerns to reps. It also just happens that I'm not thrilled with the direction the MEC is going. You know what OFG, I'm apparently not the only one.
