I am tired of this BS about a fractured pilot group. Really, come on guys get a grip. First of all, I have sent in my DPA card and want ALPA off the property as I have been unhappy with ALPA for years way before the merger. However, until it is replaced, I am a unified pilot supporting our pilot group in our efforts to better our contract. What ever group that represents us, I will support as I believe 95% of our pilot group will. I feel that DPA will serve our pilot group much better than ALPA. I feel that our dues money will go for what best serves Delta pilots. Right now I feel that my dues money goes to serve an organization that supports DCI companies that are taking mainline flying. How does ALPA represent us and them at the same time. I have also witness first hand how reps get involved to support their pilots only to become a servant to the all mighty ALPA, sad but true. So, for all those that keep screaming about a split pilot group, I say you are the ones trying to perpetuate that line of thinking. I will not consider myself as a split pilot, I only want what I believe is best for the pilot group as a whole. My last 25 years under ALPA has been very disappointing in many ways. The time has come for a new direction!
