DALPA seems to take credit for the 717 citing C2012. The only thing C2012 did was allow MORE 76 seaters.

DALPA claiming C2012 is responsible for XXX Captain positions is no more credible than saying C2012 is responsible for sudden retirement of 747s. I just wish DALPA focused more on protecting my career and less on patting themselves on the back and taking credit for anything good at Delta.
