DPA is his mea culpa?
He's responsible for presiding over the single largest concessions deal in Delta history. ***?
This conversation didn't begin with who "presided" over what. It started with me saying that the guy who negotiated C2K as the negotiating chairman (not presided over, but actually negotiated), is now a DPA supporter. I understand your need to deflect that fact by changing the subject to the later role of presiding as MEC chairman, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that noticed your clear deflection.
The other sad thing to watch is ALPA-philes such as yourself smearing a former negotiating chairman and MEC chairman after he commits the unpardonable sin of wanting to leave ALPA. You folks really should watch it with the smearing of such good people just because they want a change. But, you do your own thing.
