If they thought DPA would divide us, management wouldn't have tried to chase them off the property as hard as they did in the ATL event. DPA would strongly unify this pilot group over the issue of Scope IMO. ALPA simply cannot do that by their own current structure. As long as we go into Section 6 with ALPA representing us, we will be a terribly divided group over the issue of Scope. Period.

The account balance we have now and will continue to amass belongs to Delta pilots...not ALPA. ALPA cannot take that money from Delta pilots if we were to vote in an in-house union.

Don't underestimate ALPA's ability to make another huge miscalculation and cause DPA cards to come flooding in.
