Either the DL employees who want to have a voice on this site are going to have take a stand and tell everyone else to back off and have their own discussion or they are going to have to listen to all of us.
There is going to be no unilateral disarming.
Everyone and their brother can come up with a reason to participate in a discussion about DL if they want to.
Yet, it is the DL employees who have vote.
Retiree kids, union organizers, and other airline employees have no more or no less right to participate in the discussion than anyone else.
If DL employees want to have a voice in the conversation, then they have to be man enough to tell the rest of the people to butt out - all of them - and take control of the conversation or the rest of us will take.
For right now, whether any one wants to admit or not, no major non-pilot group has successfully voted in a union and despite the thousands of words that some want to spew, there is no more evidence that that will change anytime in the near future.
And it also doesn't change that the union promoters who incessantly pester DL employees are powerless to fix the problems which have sent the organized labor movement to a position of insignificance in American life. Specific to the airline industry, unions have been completely rendered powerless and ineffective at providing improved salary and benefits relative to direct peer non-unionized airlines.
There is a reason why DL employees continue to say "NO" to organized labor and those reasons grow more and more valid everyday.
