I disagree. It's nothing more than ALPA paid spin.

Every ALPA leader? Absolutely not. Every D-ALPA leader, I certainly hope so. ALPA is concerned with ALPA the entity first and foremost. And before you start lobbing fear grenades. I've done a little volunteer work and seen their communications spin team up close.
We have been told to trust ALPA and they pull things like unenforceable scope language (RAH), age 65 and the TWA DFR. Show me how ALPA (not DALPA) is looking out for DELTA pilots.
Why did our dues money pay for a meeting in FLL at a resort none of the members can afford to pay for on our pay scales and with free booze etc. Why does ALPA pay top wages to its employees but fails to secure the same for its members.
ALPA has to wake up.
