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.
What about a 3rd group that believes the language on the TA does not adequately protect us from giving up a lot for nothing?
And a 4th group, not me, that believes the language on the TA is all fine except the pay tables.
As to the power issue, that's an issue. Does the DPA want the power? Sure. So does ALPA. If ALPA would just let us vote on the MEC Chairman and give us that power and disown ALPA nationals conflict of interest in representing both the regionals and mainline carriers, well, I could grow a fat stache and strike the pose:
I might even volunteer.
