I think there are lots of questions that need to be answered and they aren't just tied to one number.

Unlike you, I don't see DALPA as disconnected, I think they are very connected to the pilot group, probably more so than you or me. They are all Delta pilots and as a body they have significantly more input from more sources and more pilots than any one of us could have.

As for DPA, I don't think they got much further than getting out of the gate. Lot's of promises and attacks, but little substance. They promised two comm reps in each base (who are they), they promised C&BLs (where is it), they promised professional negotiators(who are they, who have they retained), they promised financial transparency (what's the status of their funds and exactly what have they spent their money on). I haven't seen any of those promises kept. As they say in Texas, "all hat, no cattle."
