You have no idea why Delta pilots filled out their cards. None. Only individual pilots can speak to why they signed a card. Venting, is certainly not why I signed a card.
DPA's mistake was thinking they needed a lot more than 50% of pilots. They didn't IMO. Had they called for a vote, lots of folks who didn't even know about DPA would have voted to toss ALPA in my opinion. Without DPA's miscalculation, ALPA would have been voted out.

We do have serious threats, but those threats are having ALPA continue in a leadership role of pilot representation. As an ALPA member with no other choice, my hope is for the growth of the independents and CAPA. ALPA belongs to A4A and that's not going to change.
