Last time I checked, ALPA was still our union. There is only one union doing our negotiating. I DO hope they are nervous about DPA. I hope it will keep them on their toes and represent the DELTA pilots and DELTA pilots' interests. At this point, "squabbling" is good. It gets out all of the points of view of all of the DELTA pilots. I have no doubt that when the time comes (actual negotiations) the pilot group will be united. If DALPA does things right, then they don't really have a reason to fear DPA. If they don't, then it's good to have choices.
