I really don't know what you expect DALPA to do. They successfully tightened the restrictions in the Alaska marketing agreement.
I think the real question is why is AK is growing? Is it because of receiving codeshare or is it because they are competing against us or both?

In either situation, it is not in the best interests of the DAL pilots.
