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.

This logic doesn't make sense. The best thing for ALPA pilots, regional or mainline, is to STOP OUTSOURCING. I don't understand why some folks think the outsourcing will benefit DCI pilots. A small portion may get off reserve sooner or upgrade faster, but they DO NOT want to spend their lives at DCI; to a major as fast as possible! I can't see the conflict of interest. Ask any DCI pilot if they want DAL pilots to give up on scope...seriously ask! Stop assuming that they are campaigning for larger aircraft because it just ain't so.
