Differing priorities has nothing to do with the division in our group. It is ALPA's behavior. Nobody in our group prioritized the gutting of our scope. That was ALPA's priority to get the regionals on board as ALPA members. Nobody in our group prioritized stabbing TWA pilots in the back. That was ALPA's priority in an attempt to gain American pilots as members. Nobody in our group prioritized the busting of the union of ALPA's own clerical workers. Nobody in our group prioritized giving away profit sharing, and our reps specifically ordered that not be done without their prior approval. ALPA had other priorities and we got the cut in profit sharing anyway. I could go on with many more examples.

Again, this has nothing to do with differing priorities among Delta pilots. We Delta pilots understand that differing priorities are part of a group of 12,000 pilots. Our division is based on the actual performance of our bargaining agent. Some are OK with it, some are not. That's the issue.
