This is one of those few instances where someone remembered and insisted and recognition of that is in order.

My only problem with it is how it came to be in there in the first place. Was any of that ALPA leverage or the "meet and confer" round table crap? Also, a horrible side effect of this could be RAH joining ALPA and then gaining subsequent leverage over us in defending their "share" of DL flying or having any say in our futures in even a small way. Although I guess it won't matter either way since we exempted them for life anyway. We really, really need a barf icon BTW.

How much juice was spent to get the "ALPA carrier" hiring requirements in our TA? I don't think that was anywhere in the survey.


The fact that it is in there is proof ALPA has a conflict of interest. Our TA is being used to get ALPA more cred with DCI. Why is our NC carrying the water for those who are not DAL pilots? Nothing against those guys, I wish them well, but if you did not see the conflict of interest before you now have the proof right in front of your eyes. The only question is what we gave up to get it for ALPA. Disgraceful.

This TA has Lee Moak and ALPA National all over it. I would say it's in there to protect ALPA's butts in case of another law suit for failure to represent the RJ carriers.

That rascal Moak again, if it weren't for him we would all be making 600k and working on Tuesdays.

I have a friend that is a group lead at national.

He phoned me up a couple months ago and said "you know, I never thought I'd say this, but after working with Moak for a little while, I completely understand why you put in your DPA card.

He has a very strong influence over O'Malley and the current administration at DALPA, you cannot deny that.

Yes I can. Dave Garret (RIP) had a strong influence over Ron Allen yet when Ronnie took over he was his own (and much lesser) man. I think you are selling O'Malley and our MEC short.

Seriously?

They just got steamrolled by the NC--or they were too weak to exert their influence over the proceedings.

How exactly are we "selling them short?"

Take off your agenda glasses, there is a whole other world that you are missing.

Yes, if a T/A were to pass by 90%, they would probably kick themselves.
