As an addition to that, I think one needs to remember that so far this is nothing but a website and an idea...a vehicle for a decertification vote and a template for the building of a new union by membership majority decisions. What has caused thousands of members to sign on to a website and an idea?

Now some ALPA folks have said it's because thousands of Delta pilots have bought into lies and misrepresentations. Telling fellow Delta pilots that they're not bright enough to detect lies and misrepresentations is probably not a good way to win hearts and minds. Other ALPA folks claim that the union challenger has almost no members at all outside of one guy still bitter about his furlough. Then why put out a scathing "scourge" letter in response to a small naysayer with no chance of winning?

These inconsistencies will need to be addressed a little better by DALPA if they truly wish to bring clarity to this debate.
