Anybody with a little knowledge and half a brain can figure who's who. DPA is doing everything possible to discredit this TA and ALPA because it furthers their cause, they don't give a rats a$$ about DL pilots, they just want power.
I am an avid ALPA supporter. I contribute to the PAC. And respectfully, I think this TA is very dangerous for most of our pilots. I know you will not be effected by outsourcing, so I respect your view. I just can not support a continual erosion of our mainline flying to DCI. Pay, now, I can live with. Outsourcing, no way.
With this TA, Alpa failed to represent us. I understand why; DCI is ALPA. Rightfully so, ALPA can not turn its back on fellow ALPA pilots. There is no easy way about this. I need my "dues" dollars to work only for my Delta Pilots, no one else. But can u see the conflict of interest?
I see ALPA discrediting DPA as much as DPA discrediting ALPA. I also see the NN and roadshow suger coat some very ambiguous clauses in the TA. (Scope,Pay,SICK). Please FINIS, read this TA knowing a very shrewd/pro-company attorney wrote it. Regardless, ALPA will get paid.
