Delta Pilots are forming a new Union called DPA, Delta Pilots Association.

Will this cause ALPA to go bankrupt?


Here's an excert from www.delta-pilots.org :


1. Financial transparency to members – One click access to ALL the financials is available to EVERY DPA Member. Once you are a member, login and click “DPA Finance Log” in the sidebar. External audits will validate the data the Members ALREADY have. We will know our dues are being spent wisely.
2. Financial efficiency – NO subsidizing the regional carriers who want our flying. How our current dues are distributed: More than 16% (approx. $689,000 in 2010) of the MECʼs account allocation for operating income is redistributed to smaller ALPA carriers. ALL DPA dues go completely to meeting Delta Pilotsʼ needs and desires.
3. Financial responsibility – Reduce excessive and unnecessary spending of Member dues. (For example - $6,500/mo housing allowance for the President, $4,500/ mo housing allowance for V.P.s, $1,600/mo car allowance, $498,000 annual compensation for the President, $120,000/year secretaries, $175,000/year magazine editors, massive bonus pensions, $329.00 per night hotel rooms, $260 per day per diem, etc.) DPA Officers and Block Reps will fly partial lines every month and will earn a reasonable reward for service to the Delta Pilots.
