To those hiding behind "Tim is DPA" excuse to not make a change...

Where's the outrage when it comes to things ten times worse at DALPA than anything Tim has every said or done?? Ignoring pilot input whether it be throwing pilot survey results in the waste bin (don't waste your breath telling me I don't know that because I haven't seen the survey ALPA wont share...that BS talking point has run its course). Shutting down the DALPA message board, censoring the Delta MEC Facebook page by removing hundreds of posts, DALPA reps ignoring their constituents in an attempt to steamroller a POS TA forward with slight of hand and a FEAR, UNCERTAINTY, DOUBT campaign! In some countries this activity would be considered treason and get you hanged, drawn and quartered. Clearly, DALPA has shown through their actions, they neither want nor care what the membership has to say. It's top down politics at it's worst!

Most of what I have seen from DPA has been a passionate attempt to get pilots represented again with accountability (block representation, easier to kick out reps who get in bed with management, vote for your union president, cut waist such as $30,000 ALPA oil paintings and free liquor and pricey hotels for those who clearly do not answer to the dues paying membership).

Again, where is the outrage when it comes to the outlandish sins committed by DALPA?? You try to smear Tim's name telling us he's just a disgruntled NWA guy who lost seniority BS. Tim is a freaking saint compared to some of the DALPA insiders who brought us this TA. Please show some willingness to examine the mote in your own eye (DALPA) before trying to remove from another who would likely serve this pilot group much better. All that said, Tim has stated repeatedly, and it's in the Delta Pilots Association bylaws, the membership will directly elect their leadership. Tim will not be elected. End of story.
