One other point to add. IF management likes the idea of disunity in the pilot group (because it helps their side in the negotiation process), and if DPA causes disunity in the pilot group (which hurts our side), then wouldn't management want DPA to succeed? And if management wants DPA to succeed, why have they been so supportive of DALPA and unsupportive (even obstructive) of DPA?
Why do you think that Management wants D-ALPA to succeed vs. DPA? DAL88 you're smarter than that question.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CONSTRUCTIVE ENGAGEMENT "RAPPORT" with D-ALPA. You know, the same constructive engagement, outside of Section 6 negotiations mind you, that gave YOU & CARL & EVERYONE ELSE ON THE SENIORITY LIST, the Scheduling Optimization Team (SOT), the change in reserve rules, the changes in 23K.
Think these could have or would have been done in the same time period with the DPA?
Answer carefully, as the DPA can't even get enough votes yet to bring it to the pilot group for ratification.

P.S. Like your BS flag, but just because someone disagrees with your opinion, doesn't always mean it's BS.
