It's been leaking for decades. So yes, tear it down.

this is a nonsensical analogy made up to say DPA is nothing more than teenagers who smoke pot. Its just meant to be inflammatory, it means nothing.

Want a better analogy? Lets see, the DPA is like a new union created, growing and supported because nobody has faith in their entrenched union where they cannot vote for effective change on a regular basis nor vote for those who are most in charge and who represents both mainline Delta pilots but also those at ASA, Comair, Compass*, pinnacle, Mesaba and Alaska.

Oh yeah, make it more of an analogy... the DPA is like a bunch of pilots firing their rich lawyer and ALPA is their lawyer telling them the pilots they're not in charge.
