At the end of the day, national's beuracracy is still in place. We'd still be forced to send money to national to support those ridiculous expenditures.
I don't understand why we would not want to keep 100% of Delta money strictly to be used by us and not by national, bureaucrats who by definition do not have our best interests solely at heart.
Occupy;
I am a DPA supporter and active. Most pilots on this board GET the fact that we send a bunch of money to DC. Most pilots GET the fact that some of that money funds smaller regional collective bargaining efforts. Most pilots GET the fact that national is a bloated, self serving beaurocracy.
There are a couple of things I dont get:
1. Why you seem to be so hostile to everyone. All that will result in is you getting blocked.
2. My opinion only, as a realist, DALPA is going to get a shot at section 6 round 1, not DPA: DPA really needs to rethink the
all or nothing strategy leading up to section 6 and marshall the troops to do some LEC and MEC policy implementation...or the whole movement will be moot. Think about it.
On this board, we all know, very well, what is riding on the next contract. There are also a lot of donuts here. Lower the submachine gun and step out of the post office.
