-2.25% dues automatically implemented during Sec 6, early openers, bankruptcy, & mergers.
A very good thing to be properly funded for these eventualities.

Too much ALPA flight pay loss is funded by Delta management. That's a bad thing when these ALPA folks are supposed to be working for us.

You mean the USAPA that is continually described by you and the other "ALPA at all costs" folks as being a failed and morally bankrupt organization? Isn't being fired from a morally bankrupt and failed organization a good thing?
Besieds, you and ALPA just hate the guys because his firm has so often successfully decertified ALPA from airline property. I understand your angst about his firm.

Having adequate access to capital is a good thing and proof of a good plan. If they didn't get a line of credit, you'd be slamming them for not being able to get credit.

That's a good start.
11,000 Delta pilots is a very formidable lobbying force. CAPA will be dying for us to join, not the other way around. The lobbying might be different this time though. We won't be against age 60 before we cave in on it. We won't be for the 1,500 hour rule before we cave in on it. We won't back management on Flight Time/Duty Time regs.
It's actually a great start. Very exciting possibilities ahead with being free from ALPA.
