TEDDY,Ted Striker said:FL990, I believe that you are a managment plant on this board trying to calm everyone down. I think this pilot group is just starting to get riled up enough and you are trying to get us to "simmah down now!!" I hope I'm wrong-but something smells fishy.
Have you read any of my posts....cause I don't think ya have. Do you think that a management plant is going to sit and try to get all the pilots in Alpa to come together and act as one big group....is that what you think they want....CAUSE THATS WHAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SAY!!!!!!! WAKE UP! All our pissing and moaning and whining and complaining COSTS THEM NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!! MORALE, until it starts to cost them money, why should they care? They know that as soon as we get our contract, the wounds will heal quickly, so until it costs them more to deal with our antics than it would to just give in and give us what we want, they will deal with our antics. But you, you are so typical...lots of emotion, little ration....YOU MUST THINK RATIONALLY. Management will listen to us and negotiate when it costs them less to do so. There position does not exist to facilitate our pocket books...they are there to maximize wealth for the "shareholders" who in this case, is Delta.
That is why I have been harping and ranting about leverage all over this entire message board...we must get something they want in order to give it up to get what we want....this is how negotiation works, because we can't go in and ask for what we want just on the basis....."why should we give it to you pilots....WELL, because we just want it . Management knows this and that is why they are doing there part for the company. As soon as we get something to offer them in return (ie. threat of work stopage) they will start to cooperate.
So yes: "simmah down now!!" as you put it so well and THINK! Lets put our heads together....ALL OF US...cause thats where our power comes from!!
