Carl,

These days I am totally confused by DALPA's actions and throw around a lot of "what tha's" when I talk about them. I still don't believe it is an ALPA problem because:

1.) No one has ever told me if we "switched" and elected the same people for the new organization, how things would be different. &

2.) No one has explained why the new United ALPA can take much stronger positions than us on scope, pay, and operational issues, and we can't. (and their pilot group still tried to recall their leadership.)

I want to know what is going on with our people, and I'm about to address one of them -- or, at least what I believe to be the mindset -- right now.

Wish me luck.
