I'm not fan of Moak, and he is responsible for much of the prevailing malaise that continues to surround ALPA, but let's at least keep the facts straight. There was never a vote to staple CPZ pilots. The question was whether they would continue to be represented by DALPA, or would be kicked out into their own MEC. The latter option was chosen on a vote along straight pre-merger lines. I do agree that the signal sent was that Delta pilots were no longer interested in any claim to 76-seat flying.
