Red face ...any other questions...dummies!!

This says it all.....! What part of 'STOP HELPING THIS MANAGEMENT SCREW US' don't the majority of us understand....??? READ CAREFULLY WHAT THE THREAD BELOW (copied from 'Rumours and News') AND SEE WHAT A UNITED, DETERMINED EFFORT RESULTS IN. It didn't happen overnight, but IT WILL HAPPEN if we ALL resolve to show this management that we have had enough. WAKE UP


Congratulations to the flight crew at Delta Air Lines and their ALPA negotiators. Delta Air Lines has offered to make its pilots the highest paid in the industry in order to avoid a strike. The deal, which has yet to be accepted, consists of a maximum pay rise of just over 30% spread over 4 years.
It appears that the airline has caved in due to Delta's pilots stopping voluntary overtime. Delta has had to cut its daily flight schedule by 4% due to a shortage of crew.

I just wish that BALPA would employ some of these negotiators and educate its membership as to what can be achieved by a unified work-force. The cost of increasing pay obviously pales into insignificance when compared to the cost of grounded aircraft gathering dust. Once again well done!
