The Delta pilots have found their voice.

If ALPA doesn't do the right thing there will be others who will step up to lead the fight for a representation election. Caplinger won't be a factor.

The clock is ticking.
65-35 was an astounding and unmistakable repudiation of our current leaders.
If Donatelli and the rest of the old guard attempt to hang on to power, I think we will see the removal of ALPA as our bargaining agent.

I think that would be a mistake.
But if the permanent ALPA guys refuse to step aside that's exactly what will happen.
