I went to the State of Affairs address at the Sand Castle this afternoon. Quite a showing. About 75-100 pilots all decked out in their work attire attended plus probably 100 or so more folks. DP with through the slides explaining how we made what amounted to a 5M dollar profit even with fuel expenses over ... I believe it was 200M over last years fuel cost. Quite a remarkable feat considering where U was last year this time with fuel much cheaper. After the slide show came the questions and the pilot group was one of the first to speak up. Basically it was asked of DP to show respect to not only the pilot's group but all workgroups (scored big points with the crowd) at the negotiating table. It seems there is some disagreement between the company and the pilots group on wages. Both sides agreed to continue negotiating. I was very impressed by the professionalism shown by the pilot's group. Another important topic was the profit sharing plan the company intends to implement for ALL employees. I felt this to be very important if we want all folks at the new U to feel like a team and DP is on board to giving all employees the opportunity to share when WE are profitable. Many other important topics came up, and you should listen to them for yourself. You can hear the recorded broadcast from the HUB or Compass. It'll be worth your time.
