They must really pump your head full of ******************** in indoc when you go to Delta. " You guys are now the cream of the crop of all airline pilots" and you morons believe it. I don't have the desire to go to a major because it would negatively impact my quality of life for a long time, not to mention the very real possibility of a furlough that I just cannot afford. Then you couple that with flying with some of these Delta pricks, and the fact that I just could never think that I was the uber pilot and all the little regional pukes should bow down. All that together makes me think that I'd rather stay at ASA and bet on the fact that Delta pilots, as egotistical as they are, will never sacrafice a single penny in their contract for scope. Personally, I feel pretty secure at ASA, matter of fact, I think there will come a day when we are flying much larger aircraft because you guys can't quit compenstaing for having a little dick.
Booting ALPA creates more problems then it solves.

~~~^~~~ said:General: I think you are right. I'm trying to find the source of the "6,000" number that I remember reading. More important to ALPA than the furloughs - is that 6,000 is very close to the number it would lake to wrestle ALPA back from those who hijacked the union and the hijackers are not giving up that easy. Those in power ( with half million dollar ALPA compensation packages ) do not want to risk "democracy" at a BOD meeting.
You are also assuming the RJDC litigation, filed prior to the Statute of Limitations for a cause of action resulting from changes when the C2K scope took effect, doesn't exist.
Cohen, Weiss and Simon may have to put a leash on the Delta MEC, or the Delta MEC may have to leave ALPA in order to successfully take jobs from ASA and Comair pilots. Your jets for jobs proposals will get a different reception from the ASA and Comair pilots and we have already seen ALPA's play book by watching what mainline did to the US Air Express pilots.
General, it is nothing personal, but we will defend ourselves. Your MEC sold scope and now those "permitted aircraft types" are being flown by other ALPA members with just as much right to negotiate as you have. I believe this is the last time we will see mainline lock out other ALPA members on the property because the Courts will intervene. All the pieces are already in place and yet, ALPA is walking right into the breach.

Have you forgotten that your MEC is responsible for this alter ego mess?
Its hard to feel too sorry for the Delta pilots when they got exactly what they negotiated for.

I think that he stills feels that most of this mess could be avoided. We are working from this side to fix that.
1. The best chance to "fix" this was back in 2000...The cost is much higher now....I doubt there is the political will to spend the negotiating capital that would be required...
2. I seriously doubt either of you are too concerned about how the "fix" affects ASA pilots now that both of you have left....
