You're trying to deflect. The point is that anybody can be manipulated depending upon the information they're given. Delta pilots are no different than any other human being in that regard. Heavily slanted information will often times result in the desired decision hoped for by the people who slanted the information. Especially true if information is strictly controlled and opposing information doesn't get out.

That's always a possibility. But 5,600 Delta pilots have signed a card to decertify ALPA. Don't think that could happen without the pilot group being wary of the information they're getting from their union.

Nobody is trying to make that case except you. DPA has never said such a thing.
