I dont understand the angst among the apologists either.
One arguement would be that DPAs timing is bad due to upcoming section 6. I would agree with that arguement (completely) if, and it is a BIG IF, DALPA had extracted more in the merger contract than they did.
In the contract comparison, several SWA comparisons were left out. We still haven't seen the AF/KLM comparison - although it was promised, (to placate?)
Received resolutions, no visual/verbal stance from our master chair on what to expect, no action on scope (okay corporate jets), no growth.
I'm just a little fuzzy on what the Delta pilots are afraid of. I'm also a little fuzzy on what ALPA is wielding.
Where is the DALPA leadership? There is a vacume and DPA is trying (with some success) to fill it.
