What I did say is that ALPA National has a conflict of interest in representing both us and the outsourced pilots who are doing our flying. It's not some paranoid, evil plot against us. It's simply a case of conflicted priorities that has serious potential for compromised data and less than stellar advice. If you were getting a divorce, would you want the same attorney representing both you and your wife? Would a competent, ethical attorney even take that case?
Difference is that we are the pilots with sole bargaining authority with DAL. If that was not the case, you would have a point, but we do and they do not. We would have to allow it. The analogy is apples and oranges.
DCI carriers bargain with their companies, we bargain with DAL. Huge difference than a divorce where you both bargain with a judge.
