It's hard to talk about DPA in anything but the past tense, so let's be kind and simply say it was a failed attempt at representing the group, that captured legitimate anger, and diverted it into misplaced trust.
We have a CBA, warts and all. I think pilots will be much better off getting some wart remover, and paying close attention to the action. Hoping that TC will suddenly stop drooling on his shirt and start speaking coherently looked like a poor strategy... three years ago.
If individual Delta pilots are going to bet on someone to do the right thing, I submit they'd better bet on themselves, and start by taking an activist role in supervising the union.
We can do both. We must bring pressure from all corners. Like we did on CDOs.
The DPA survey tells a great deal. 98% of our pilots desire to keep or increase our profit sharing. They want major improvements in intl scope. Large increases in hourly rates and DC.
Take the survey. Make ur voice heard.
