Thank you Carl, I'll take that as a compliment from you!

It's not a "moot point", because you have no facts to stand on that it won't be shared with the pilot group. There was communication stating "it wouldn't be shared with the pilot group, prior to submitting it to the company, but again, you have nothing to stand on stating it won't be shared at all. Sit back and watch Carl. Once the opener is shared, I'll be waiting for your apology.

You're not making any sense Carl, and I'm pretty sure I'm understanding your text. You're going to sit on this forum and when the TA comes out say, "D-ALPA did it's own thing instead of following the pilots will?" Really? With that assumption, you are then privy to the results of multiple polls the pilot group has taken? Or maybe, what I'm hearing from you, is if it's not up to your standards, or the standards that you always proclaim, without any factual basis that DPA can deliver, that you'll promote the fact that D-ALPA went "off the reservation". (Not intended to be a derogatory remark towards reservations, and/or Native Americans.)
Here's a possible scenario for you. Maybe the majority of the pilots at Delta, yes, all of those that don't post on this forum, did have something to say differently than the "all GREAT GOPHER HUNTER", and in fact, the TA reflects much of what the pilot group asked for. (There's a novel idea Carl. You not being the voice of majority in the 12,000 pilot group?)

I'm skeptical Carl,
but we will see!!
Good day,
