That's the politics many of us are speaking about. Now if you really want to engage on this issue, answer those concerns. Again it's not about the bottom up ability to create turnover, it's about the ability for bottom up changes to operation.

We have been told many many times that DALPA is a union and ALPA is an association because the RLA prohibits ALPA being a union (or something to that effect). So, if Moak cuts deals with DAL without DALPA involvement, hasn't he already shown his hand?
