If DPA's purpose was to eliminate the conflict of interest between DALPA and the regional ALPAs, that little problem seems to be going away quite nicely all on its own.

When Comair and Pinnacle/Mesaba are gone, and Compass has all flowed up, there will only be ASA, a hundred Compass non-flows, and a pile of non-ALPA DCI regionals.

For me, it gets old to see pandering letters every election cycle that are not followed up in votes.

As to the DPA, like them or not over a period of time 42% of the pilot group has bothered to print off a card and mail it in. There is support for something different, whatever that is.
what scambo said, go acl.

Here's a bullish article on DAL from Seeking Alpha. The author gets a few details wrong, but I like where he's going:

Have not seen it yet, but are any of the candidates aligning. IE: CS and DN. Either way I think we need to vote against the incumbants.

DPA needs to understand that even after the last TA they do not have the cards. It is very unlikely they ever will. Time to reengage in the existing system and fix it.

I agree that DPA is not the answer. Seems every e-mail they send has to have one and sometimes more than one clarification e-mails. They just sent one announcing they were pulling the 11% staffing cut article because it was flat out wrong.

I just am not holding my breath that anyone, even the vaunted friends of ACL can effect change from within the halls of ALPA. I really hope to be proven wrong, but like the problems we face in DC simply replacing the reps won't work. We need wholesale house cleaning of the staff and especially the bureaucrats that infest the place. Theirs is the corporate brain and their intransigence is what spoils any hope of effective change. Buzz (not you BuzzPat) et al need to go as well as all of those highly paid folks in Herndon. Then we might be an effective Association that listens and looks out for the line pilot.

I found this quote to be very interesting...............:

"Sources close to Delta have said that the carrier has conducted an anti-trust analysis and found that with some concessions, the deal could pass an anti-trust review."

Denny

Edit: Guess I should add that this is in regards to American......

If there ever was a time that Delta could purchase AMR, this economy would be the time to do it; Especially, if that purchase would save AMR.
