Do you actually have any proof of this or are you another douche bag, spouting nonsense. My guess is that you really are an idiot and have no idea what you're talking about.

Delta won't let them fail. It lessens their ability to whipsaw the regional partners.

Ask your elected ALPA reps. Many of them will proudly brag to you about how nice of a hotel they stayed at during their last ALPA event, how nice of food they ate/drank at their last ALPA meeting, etc.

You present your case in a very articulate manner.

Is anyone able to post a brief summary of the Update? Fly782, I wonder if the talk about new business plans and mainline contracts is management's way of saying "give us some concessions and we will be able to secure new flying", which is of course a vague promise that everyone would have to take with a huge grain of salt.

Actually, many of the meals and events are done in appreciation of the numerous volunteers who dedicate hundreds, sometimes thousands of hours of their personal time every year on behalf of guys who would rather sit on the internet, do nothing, and b!tch about ALPA.

Even if you do believe the ALPA finance lady, and you do believe she had honest numbers to work with...it's only a snapshot of RIGHT NOW. A few months ago they were saying this place is in great shape. Now look at it! Even if we did the dumbest thing possible and gave concessions, things can change. It's no garauntee to stay out of bankrupty. VOTE NO!!!

Would it be good enough to provide you the letter from ALPA stating that my entire years of dues were refunded to me, because I complained and submitted proof of union leaders over indulgence?

They go to dinner with a friend and 'talk business' and expense it.

Its all part of the decline of moral character in America.
