It's very ironic that TC has done more to keep ALPA on the property than ALPA ever could. Imagine his angst if he ever realizes that.
If he had stepped aside a couple of years ago, we would have voted by now and put the whole thing to rest one way or the other.
I do think attempting to hang all of the in-house union sentiment around him alone is ill-advised.
There are thousands of perfectly (well, reasonably) sane Delta pilots who despise the bloated, wasteful, and opaque bureaucracy ALPA has become.
