2) advocate for and fund outsourced pilot groups who would happily take Delta pilots' jobs; and
3) bankroll a bloated, corrupt, and obsolete bureaucracy that gives not a whit for Delta pilots' careers.

Funny thing is, not even the most strident ALPA supporter can legitimately disagree. they'll try to tell me how valuable the "laywers" and "medical" are...but we can subcontract those ourselves at a fraction of the cost.

It's enough to drive anyone batty. We've got to put an end to this madness.
