I do have an agenda. It's to restore control of our agency to the line pilot, and out of the hands of out-of-touch career union politicians oblivious to (or unconcerned with) ALPA's conflict of interest. I want every penny of our dues money utilized to further the Delta pilot group's best interests--not shipped to ALPA's bloated bureaucracy in Washington concerned only with increasing its cash intake. I want an agent who fights for every penny and hour off at the negotiating table, and doesn't waste our time/dues money convincing us we're asking for too much (or overselling an inferior product).

I find it amusing (and highly disingenuous) for you to imply that the only folks here with an agenda are DPA supporters. So I guess you have an agenda, too. Or perhaps you only see what you want to see.

Regarding your "thug" comment: I have never seen a DPA backer threaten anyone disagreeing with him. I cannot say the same for several of the professional ALPA operatives who have become increasingly aggressive as the threat to their gravy train flourishes.
