After talking to Donatelli at the Council 20 meeting over a month ago I fell into the false hope that this contract would be amazing. A win for the Delta pilots, DALPA and management. Together we would crush the competition.

I looked forward to wearing my ALPA pin and being proud to be in ALPA like I was 30 years ago.

I was played, we were played. This was over before it started. The insiders had control the whole time. They played their upper hand much better this time. Learning from their mistakes in C2012. The O'Malley/Scappy nightmare.

There can be no doubt in any Delta pilot's mind that DALPA will never change and they have to go.

My DPA card renewed yesterday along with a check.

This TA is a failure across the board. The gains are pathetic and the concessions unthinkable and unnecessary.

We need 8000 DPA cards yesterday.

Make your voice heard.
