No, see above.

See previous post. You see the fact that ALPA escaped being decertified at Delta by a few percentage points as a ringing endorsement of ALPA among Delta pilots. It's that twisted view that makes some of your comments sound like party propaganda.

Delta pilots don't control ALPA. A4A controls ALPA.

Total fail and cave in to A4A. We wouldn't have the 1500 hour rule now were it not for the FAA's insistence. ALPA is still looking for ways to reduce it.
