If you read their emails (which I doubt you do because you dont like Tim and you think all of the leadership are "morons" as you say) you would see they are turning the campain toward renewls acknowledging that is the next challenge. Haha you want to talk about "transparent"? I think we should all be 100% used to that now with our current union. Give me a break.

Launching a competing product into any market let alone a market where you start with no access to contact info, shut out from using company resources that your competitor uses freely with the governing bodies blessing (Delta does this because they love and want to keep the, ahem, 50/50 "mutually beneficial working relationship with the current union). The company whispers into ALPA's ear compliments of Mr. Campbell, a $1000/hr union busting attorney (who also happens to want to keep ALPA around...I wonder why?) to shut down the competing product.

Yes Tim gets emotional and has said dumb things. Have you ever? Tim and DPA have been very clear....there will be an election for the new union. It is highly probably Tim wont run but if he does he probably would never get elected. That said, the organization is borrowing best practices for a bottom up organization that will represent the pilots in the best way going forward. I think that is what many who have filled out DPA cards are interested in.

The DPA has made an remarkable amount of progress given all the obstacles and unlevel playing field set before them. Time will tell if the amount of dissatisfaction and inability of those in the current union to ever shape up (not looking promising over the past several years) cause enough dissatisfied Delta pilots to vote in a new representative body.
