Wow. I guess since the DPA has been within "inches" of getting sufficient interest cards for about three or four years the Emperor's clothes are beginning to show. Talk about grasping at straws and trying to use fear as a tactic.
Either UAL/CAL MEC can hire any consultants they want, and they both have, as long as ALPA National does not take a side. Using DPA's argument, neither MEC could represent their pilot group since it would be a 'conflict' since both are "ALPA". What a joke.
