Actually, I think many of the opinions on this forum are reflective of our pilot group. I have never flown with or talked to a Delta pilot that wants to give away more of our flying. Not one. So if the MEC ratifies a TA that would for any reason give up more scope I think there is a big disconnect between DALPA and the will of the group.
You really think DPA is done? If the the trend line in regards to scope over the last decade doesn't change with this next contract DALPA will be gone imo, and rightfully so. Im not anti ALPA, I am however pro pilot group. If our union continues to give our jobs away, we are fools if keep riding the same horse.
