This is not a company that still has any debts to pay, bills coming due on the labor front.

Just remember, management is selling it as a permanent reset, and for that matter, so are the Moak disciples. Stay humble. Don't get greedy. This tidbit is from the investors day conference.

So, how much did that billboard cost? Today, I had to look for it, on the right hand side of northbound I85 right after the Peachtree City exit. The lettering is so small you can't read it.

Not so. I've listed my reasons for my conclusion that ALPA is a better choice for representation than DPA. My theory is that many DPA supporters, such as yourself, have difficulty with the fact that they are usually in the minority on major decisions facing the pilots. The conspiracy part comes into play when National or the organization itself is blamed for decisions the pilot group makes, that you don't support.

Those, my friend, are theories. Here are a few more. Some voted no because there was no deadline, so it was impossible to have gotten every penny we wanted from the company. Some voted no because that's all they EVER do. Some voted no because they hate ALPA and wanted to see failure. Some voted no because they are bad at math. Some voted no because rabid no voters misled them.
ALPA paid for reps to publish their perspectives, and to work the lounges to support the position they took on the TA at the MEC level. Our reps voted no, and told us why. So when you flame ALPA about "selling" the TA, please tell Tucker and Smetana you never read their stuff.

Again, you purposely distort by trying to equate local communication efforts with an MEC administration sales job that went out to all pilots both live and in print. There is no question DALPA sold that TA with everything they had including blatant scare tactics normally reserved for management's use.
Prove it.
