Lee Moak and DAL Execs are gonna screw us again..Beware!

[AA717driver]

Find someone willing to run for MEC Chairman and start the recall process. If that doesn't get Moak's attention, you're screwed anyway.

How exactly can anyone in the union make the argument FOR giving away this flying--even for a day, let alone three years (read: FOREVER).

AA-

I think this was all rumor just to get a response. Why or who started it, who knows. The meeting or "entertaining" of the idea apparently never occurred.

 

[FDJ2]

When the company wanted 76 seaters in the BK contract, all four of the then ATL reps said they would vote no to any TA that had an RJ bigger than 70 seats. All four subsequently voted yes to the 76 seaters. DALPA reps keeping their word has a bad history.

Actually one voted against LOA 51.

Peanuckle, It might have been a rumor, but I loved the response!!! Every coucil member once again knows we are paying attention. JP

Many qualifiers et al. Still be watchful of this scenario.

FDJ, yes one guy, and he was the lone dissenter on many things.

He was the one guy on the MEC with BALLS, too bad he
's no longer there!

He is not there, because he got burnt out not getting support from the other guys. Add to it, when you elect people make sure you elect ppl that can get the job done. One man cannot do it alone. A nay vote is great, but it is better if they all vote crap down not just one.

Great guy, that got hosed by a smear campaign

He is a great guy, but not because he voted no. He would have been just as great a guy had he voted yes. Neither voting no nor voting yes makes a rep a "good guy." Working hard, taking your job as a rep seriously and doing what you honestly think is the right thing, is what makes you a good guy, regardless of how you vote.

I respect both the no and yes voters, so long as any vote is cast after a careful and honest examination of any agreement subject to a vote. Honest disagreement over a LOA, TA, or anything else does not automatically grant you "cool" or "management wannabe" status. Sometimes two good guys just come to a different conclusion.

 

[waveflyer]

Explain to me how a yes vote on 76 seaters was respectable?

All it tells me is that legacy guys learned nothing from previous outsourcing- and always have their PRICE to do it again.

Hoping you guys get a brain.... And maybe some character

good on those who wrote letters and made phone calls!! Well done- keep sending the message

 

[ACL65PILOT]

They HAVE explained the why on the 76 seat jet. In the end it is what it is, and it is time to stop and reverse the trend we have been seeing since 1993 when teh first CRJ rolled off the production floor.

Which one? Initials only. Cause I don't remember any ATL reps voting agains LOA 51.

Bye Bye--General Lee

Well it could have been a rumor floated to test reaction...... its quite obvious that Delta needs and wants at 100 seat aircraft. I am really rooting for 190/195s to be operated by mainline and mainline pilots.

Sure, at new mainline payrates, none of the 100 buck an hour USair BS. Frickin ridiculas!

 

[Blade Runner]

I suspect if fence was used to protect a senior guy stapled to the Delta list even he would at some place punch out of his protected position to spend a few years in the right seat of a heavy before he retires just to see what its like.

Never, ever, going to happen, why torture yourself with this academic exercise?
